After viewing your portfolio, I have a question for you. Is there anywhere you haven't been? I took a cycling trip around Prince Edward Island last summer (2008) and managed to shoot a considerable number of the lighthouses there. I invite you to view them.

Thanks for your kind words, Mr. Ken. I'm afraid there are many, many places I've not yet visited including some of those you captured so beautifully in your photos.

After living in Gibbstown my whole life until I left NJ, I passed this lighthouse daily---does anyone know how old it is and is it still in use? It's not a typical looking lighthouse--I was wondering, why the change in style?

Welcome garlicbroad. The Tinicum Rear Range Light House station was established in 1880, and was automated in 1967. The foundation is made of stone, with the remainer of iron. It stands 86 feet high.
