Sublime and Beautiful Sunday
Sublime and Beautiful Sunday
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
Those that follow me know I love sunrises, and I also like to see Lighthouses, so when I can combine both of these it is indeed sublime for me and I think quite beautiful, but see what you think from my photos

Ned Point Light as it is official called I believe is a historic lighthouse on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
The lighthouse was built in 1838 at a cost of approximately $5,000, and named after Ned Dexter, a local farmer. Supervised by a local builder, Leonard Hammond, the lighthouse was constructed with a birdcage-style lantern similar to Bird Island Light found in Marion, Massachusetts.
All the stone used for the construction of the lighthouse was locally sourced, with most of it originating from nearby beaches.
Inside, Which I didn't get to see, are 32 granite steps that are cantilevered to the outside wall without the use of mortar. The original lantern used 11 whale oil lamps, each with its own parabolic reflector. And like other lighthouses I have read up on around here the Whale oil no doubt came from the New Bedford Whaling ships.
The Great Blizzard of 1888 significantly damaged the keeper's stone house, resulting in it being demolished and the building of a wooden replacement.
Following modernization in 1961, the lighthouse was reactivated in 1961 with its current 6-second isophase.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
When I got there the sun had not started to rise so here is a shot of it with the morning blues in the background

I know this next shot has a kind of funky haze on part of it, and not sure why but I still kind of like this shot so sharing it, I went to the lighthouse that mornings as I thought from looking at projections of the clouds there would not be much color at the sunrise, but I was pleasantly surprised
A closer in shot, you can see the flags around the light, being a long exposure they are fluttering in the wind and blurry

Lighthouses always intriguing, super captures from night to early daylight JJ.
Said to my son just last night, imagine one could afford train travel to visit lighthouses around the world, for me absolute delight. For now I linger to see through the lens and enjoy!

What is unique is each lighthouse is painted differently for mariners to identify, each photo and surroundings would be different.

Lighthouses are pretty awesome, particularly the old ones. Newer ones that are built as sturdy frames only, and are unmanned, are pretty boring to look at, but the older ones are spot on.
Yeah I totally agree the old ones have style that the new ones do not at all just function no flare
Amazing view 😍😍😍
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Cool shots.
Thanks you
Appreciated, thank you as well.
You have a lovely way of spending your time during sunrise. I think you have a special love for Sea and Sun both. Lovely pics.
Thanks and yes I love walks by the water
Have a great day
Intriguing history revolves around many of these amazing ancient structures, i mean not that ancient but still old structure, I love how they are always shrouded in a bout of mystery.
The last photo is my best, though all of your photos look amazing!
Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Yes I agree and thanks for your visit and feedback
Unfortunately my new internet cannot load the photo(s) ☹️
Ohh no maybe I uploaded two big a files
Peak loads slow too. Perhaps I can see your photos one day.
May I ask what engage is?
Love the way the lighthouse stands out from the rays of the horizon
Thanks 👍🙂👍
