Hi All, back with you again, now that the engineering conference is over. Sheila, Foxie and I plan to drive up the east coast...photographing the lighthouses we've missed in other trips. Mainly, we're looking for those on the east coast of Florida and South Carolina. After that, it's off to the Smoky Mountain NP and the Blue Ridge Parkway, towards our most northerly destination in New Jersey, where I'll be presenting an engineering design seminar. Today, we searched out the light at Jupiter Inlet (north of Palm Beach) and the one shown here at Ponce Inlet, just south of Daytona Beach. We're camped at the KOA just outside Daytona.
I've included two views of the Ponce lighthouse, because the night time shot was so striking. Ponce is Florida's tallest lighthouse at 175 feet. 203 steps takes you to the top for fabulous views of the Atlantic coastline and the renowned Daytona Beach. Built in 1887, it is one of the few light stations that retains all the original outbuildings and keeper's dwelling. The museum contains one of the largest collection of Fresnel lenses in the world.
