Original Fresnel lens from the Gay Head lighthouse in Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard on display at the MV Museum. It was awesome to step inside this prism.

My choices are:

Photo For The Week Challenge: Circular…

Posted on May 13, 2020 by mvobsession | Comments Off

My choice for circular is the Gay Head Lighthouse in the town of Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard. Five years ago the lighthouse was only 46 feet from the edge of the cliffs and was moved to a new location approximately 180 feet from the edge. On May 27, 2015 the preparation for the actual move began. The move was was completed on May 30, 2015 and the lighthouse reopened that August.

The pictures below show a circle of stones where the lighthouse had been before the move.

Inside the Gay Head lighthouse.

I tend to like blues and greens the best.

I just like this picture because it has the blue of the sky and the water and just a pop of green.
