Lighthouses

Historic coastal beacons stand as rugged architectural sentinels against the open sea. This collection focuses on historic New England lighthouses – from offshore stone towers like New London Ledge Light rising directly out of Long Island Sound to breakwater beacons guarding quiet harbor entrances. Each photograph highlights weathered brick masonry, iron railings, textured granite riprap, and shifting marine atmosphere under dramatic coastal skies.
