National Parks: Part III, The Cape Hatteras Light Station

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.86% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.14% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Looking down at Buxton and north to Avon up the island: above. Looking down and south along the Atlantic shore on the cape, where the four wheel drive vehicles line up to surf fish: Below.

As I reported it earlier, the entire light station was moved in 1999. I had visited the former location in the very late 1970's before it was moved. I even did a pen and ink rendering of the lighthouse and the stone breakwater. I would be tragically remise if I did not visit the former site, that I showed earlier from the cast iron balcony of the lighthouse. At the site, granite blocks from the former foundation have the carved names of the former keepers to honor their dedication to the service of light and the maintenance of the structures. In life, while in that service, these keepers and their families worked diligently to keep the lighthouse running at an optimum level, and often were pillars of the community as well.

The stone breakwater was fortified by a massive iron wall, but to no avail. The south side view of the breakwater: above. The north side of the breakwater: Below.

From the breakwater looking north up the seashore: Above. From the breakwater looking west to the lighthouse: Below.

With sun lowering in the sky and the rain clouds staying away, I was compelled to return to the Cape Hatteras Light Station to get some softer, richer picture of the lighthouse. Before I headed north to Nags Head, I got some good shots that I will share with you here below. Please remember that if you like these pictures, you will love betterphotographynow.com, where the files are large, the variety diverse and plentiful, and the stock pictures will be very inexpensive.

The lighthouse from behind the keeper's house: above. One last shot before I rejoin the road: Below.

It was 5:00 pm when I began my journey back to Nags Head, and I was determined to enjoy the ocean and the sound before I returned to the multiple four walls of the timeshare, so I stopped first on the east side of the island, and then again on the west side at the Salvo Day Use Area. The following are a number of pictures that I am fond of.
