The old Willunga Courthouse. I don't even mind that it was mostly in the shade of trees at the time I was there.

Was it built by the same people as @kgphotos lighthouse?
I think the area was settled by Welsh immigrants, and they are pretty short people! ;)

For some reason they removed the old cast iron tank from the top, but left those rings in place to show its size.

Nice. Must fit some slow shots into my near future.

Beautiful photo.

Nauset Beach Lighthouse and the keeper's house. This lighthouse was originally all white, but in the 1940s the top section was painted red, giving its iconic appearance.. This lighthouse replaced the Three Sisters Lighthouses. A fun tidbit...if you have ever seen a bag of Cape Cod Potato Chips, this is the lighthouse that is used on the bags of chips.

I like lighthouses too. But there aren't too many near me being 100 miles from the sea.

A nice sunny and warm day, top down, an uncrowded scenic road, and to be behind the wheel of a car like this with your partner. One day, one day.

Lottery win maybe? Nice to see the interior. Very good condition.

I'm happy you like the lighthouses. When my husband and I go on vacation to Cape Cod, I try to plan a visit to at least 1 lighthouse. Of course, weather plays a big roll, too. Cape Cod is about 2-2.5 hour drive from where I live, plus the drive to find the lighthouses. Some of the lighthouses are privately owned so its tough to get a photo, or you have to take a boat to get to it. There is one I do want to visit this year, however, from where we stay on the Cape to get to this lighthouse it's another 1-2 hour drive to get to. So we shall see if that journey happens.
