These pictures are great, some of them truly outstanding! VT has their share of lakes - watch for Lake Champlain Quadricentennial Events and come visit the 400th year of its founding- but lighthouses are nil. These bring back memories of when I lived in other places nearer the ocean. Thanks, everyone! They are lovely pictures.

We also have lighthouses on our inland Lake Havasu in Arizona -- all the ones on the east side of the lake are smaller replicas of those on the East Coast and those on the west side of the lake are replicas of those on the West Coast. Those on islands in the middle are replicas of those on the Great Lakes.

Everyone is gorgeous. Thank you so much.

Halfway Rock marks the halfway point between the easternmost & westernmost points of Casco Bay; the lighthouse is white.

For additional information see: http://web.me.com/jenkinsgroup/Race_Point/Welcome.html It's supposed to be a terrific experience.

They are the Cape Henry lighthouses. Would be nice if we could submit lighthouses from all over. I love them too.

They are a calming effect that says "it's okay, I'm here to guide you and you are safely home." Absolutely lovely. I agree with Johnnie Greene in that one of my fondest dreams is living in a lighthouse and watching as the ships pass by. God bless you all.

Very popular; sign up way in advance!

Always so enjoyable to see them. They are the silent sentries keeping ships safe. Every time we go to Cape Cod, we ALWAYS stop at Chatham Light. Every Wednesday for several hours a day, the Coast Guard opens the lighthouse during July and August. Thanks for the great pictures.

Some day I hope.

I agree with the other commenter that the one shot is Ram Island Ledge Light off Portland Harbor. The Keeper's House on Isle au Haut was a great inn, but I am not sure if they are still in operation. It's been 8 years since I stayed there.

This light is located off of Portland Head in Cape Elizabeth. C Jorden said this was Ram Island Light which is located in Boothbay, off Lineakin Point.

The Shelburne Museum in Shelburne VT has an exhibit on the Colchester Reef lighthouse which is due to reopen at the end of July. This was moved to the museum from Lake Champlain in the 1950's. Its having some foundation work done. The light house is near another great exhibit the steamboat Ticonderoga. http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/ Two Vermont Lighthouses are active though on private land and not public. Isle la Motte, northern Lake Champlain and Windmill Point Light in Alburg, Vermont These two lighthouses were unused for 70 years and relit in 2002.

Lk Champlain has 6 more on the NY side. For those of you who think of Maine as the Lighthouse State - NY has 30 more standing towers today than Maine does. Yes, as a transplanted Yankee it's hard to admit that, but it is true. A new book, "Light-Keepers of Lake Champlain" is available through the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (lcmm.org).
