Fire Island Lighthouse, Long Island, NY


a window in the lighthouse.....
Did you know that since the ships approached from the south, there are no windows on the south side of the tower?
Since the lighthouse keeper needed lights at night and the lights may just confuse the ships, windows were built into the east and west sides.
I just learned that.
I guess you can learn something new everyday.
