Nobska Lighthouse

Nobska Lighthouse

I have always had a thing that I like to check out lighthouses, but in CT I always seemed to mess up the odd time i went to try and find one and would get lost or the map app would not get anywhere near a sighting of a lighthouse, but when we were heading back from a couple of days in Hyannis Cape Cod with family, I decided to try my luck here and set Nobska Lighthouse as the destination and Apple Maps managed it well and I got a few shots of it for this post, and infact I have seen a couple of others as well, so maybe my luck has changed

Here's some info from Wikipedia on the lighthouse
Nobska Light, originally called Nobsque Light, also known as Nobska Point Light is a lighthouse located near the division between Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Vineyard Sound in the settlement of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on the southwestern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It overlooks Martha's Vineyard and Nonamesset Island. The light station was established in 1826, with the tower protruding above the keeper's house, and was replaced in 1876 by the current 42 foot tall iron tower. The light station was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Nobska Point Light Station in 1987.

When I first parked and started taking shots I thought there was no viewpoint of it without having to get shots of the cars parked in front of it, but as you can see from the first shot I found across the road and into a little clearing I could get a better shot ie the first one in this post.

I've always been fascinated by lighthouses, too. Amazingly, like you, I have missed more than I've been to :) This last trip I had two on the Oregon Coast to look at and just ran out of time so drove right by.

This is some really cool photographs of a great place. It looks so New England to me. Really straight lines and not much fluff. Except for a thing or two. The window casement on the tower, for instance.

I spent a night right by the ocean and could see two from where I camped. Does that count?

Great photos you got there, just want to share this which you can find in the Philippines. Perhaps you would want to visit it if you have a chance to visit our country in the future.

Hi JJ,

I'm late, but I have just come home from a ride. Our weather is great at the moment 🌞

I will spent most time tomorrow editing photos - that's the positive side of working on a Sunday 😉

You're so busy my friend. Our living room needs to be painted too. Don't you want to come here for a day or so. I could go for a ride or hike while you work 😁

I have posted a comment this morning and added a photo. It worked fine - let's see ...

As you might be working in the basement at the moment, I hope you have a good time 😊

I can read between the lines that I will have to do the painting myself, but I'll try to find a reason why it would be better to do it next year ... I'll tell my wife the dark corners look cool 😂

There haven't been clouds on the sky and only some fog in the background, but somehow I liked it 😉

Hope you have a great Sunday today mate 🤗☀️

Next problem, I can't take Monday off either, but I don't mind that, because in the afternoon we are going for a hike on a mountain with a couple of colleagues 😉
I only hope that the weather will be good for a nice sunset 😉

Good morning JJ, I hope you will have a good day ☀️

Always enchanted by lighthouses very few easily accessible over here to visit, private roads make it difficult, perhaps a little more effort in getting closer would be the answer.

Nice the house and beacon are being restored for historical purpose, a good reminder how old seafarers found they way around coves and rocky regions.

Excellent photography again trying to exclude the modern cars to capture the feeling of old!

I to find lighthouses so charming and quaint, , that's the problem I had in CT, whenever i tried to venture and catch a view of a lighthouse, it was down private roads that I couldn't go down, so far i have had better luck here in MA, and hoping to see many more of them :)

I think its great the group is restoring this house and it is in such good condition

Have a great day and weekend

That is a great looking lighthouse. It seems to still be in really good condition. We have a lot of the spread across the state what with the large bodies of water and all. My grandma used to love lighthouses, so every time I see one I think of her.
