Palmers Island Lighthouse

Palmers Island Lighthouse

I recently took a walk out by Palmers Island, for a few reasons, one to get some fresh air and steps in, 2 to make sure I had some photos for a Wednesday walk post, after all it is slack if me as the host of it dont get some recent photos for a post, thirdly, to check out the Osprey nests by the Barrier wall and on the Island itself to see if the Osprey had returned.

As it happened I didn't get around the island to see the Osprey nest there and no signs of them back yet inthe other best but I am sure they will be soon.

But I did achieve the other goals, and at the same time got a few shots of the Palmers Island Lighthouse from various angles which I am sharing in todays post

It was built and first lighted on August 30, 1849, by William Sherman who was the keeper. The 24-foot tower was built of rubblestone, with wooden windows and floors.

As with many lighthouses in that era the lamps were fueled by New Bedford whale oil
Over the years the lighthouse suffered from vandalism, but was eventually bought by the City of New Bedford and they restored it including relighting it in 1999

For this next shot i zoomed in a bit closer to show more of the detail of the lighthouse, at 24 feet high its not the most impressive of lighthouses i guess but I feel it has quite a charm to it

NOw one thing they say not to do when taking photos of people is make make sure something in the background is not distracting or sticking out of the top of the head or should I say appearing that way, and that is something i though of with this Telecom tower amd choose my angles mostly not to do that, but at one point I saw it almost lined up and decided to line it up for something different

I read on the Google that the Palmer's Island Lighthouse is permanently closed. I curredo not know if it is true. Probably @tattoodjay know the details.

I really like that first mono edit that kind of has the sepia feel to it. It is pretty cool. It's subtle enough that it makes it look really special. Nice shots!

Thanks for your visit, I felt it needed at least one mono edit to do it justice :)

Last photo looks like it has a super top hat added to the lighthouse.

Quaint with old look and feel, not the smooth tall lighthouses one normally sees which makes it unique.
