On Tuesday night we traveled to the Sanibel Lighthouse following dinner. Per the sign below, the land was first settled by New Yorkers in the 1830's. The lighthouse was not built and operating until 1884.
I really like the angle of this shot, with the palm fronds in the lower foreground.
The lighthouse framed by a decaying tree along the shore. Probably a remnant of when Hurricane Charley (Category 4) came through here back on August 13, 2004. It really devastated the Sanibel/Captiva/Ft. Myers area.
We stayed to try to capture a sunset picture, but the cloudy skies were not about to let that happen. I did manage to get this shot though, with the timing just right to get the beam of light in the tower. We really got bit up this night by the no-see-ums, which are these tiny (about the size of a comma on your keyboard) biting flys. We both had sprayed ourselves with Off, but they managed to find all the little spots we missed.
Your photos are beautiful! The bottom two are my favorites! Keep up the great work!
