Mt. Whitney at sunup from Lone Pine, CA in October 2014. Mt. Whitney is the tallest peak in the   contiguous US and in this image, is the tallest peak on the distant horizon on the right. This was the start of a fairly long day hiking the Mt.Whitney trail. You gotta love October light!

Fire Island Light Station

This lighthouse, located on Fire Island along the southeast Atlantic coastline of New York's Long island, stands 168' tall and was placed in service in 1858. It replaced a smaller 74' tall lighthouse that was built in 1826 but which proved ineffective due to its height. This view shows the boardwalk constructed by the NPS to help preserve the delicate coastal eco-system  that is challenged by the number of visitors to the site and shoreline.
