If you ask anyone who knows me, they'll tell you I'm obsessed with lighthouses. This is pretty much true. I guess they remind me of older, simpler times. I've been told I'm an old soul. I've also been told I must have been a lighthouse keeper in another life. I'm not sure which, if either, is true - but I definitely do love lighthouses. 

This photo is basically right out of the camera. I did some sharpening and noise reduction, but the sky was really this colorful when this was shot. If you ever get a chance to climb the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the view is amazing, and you'd be silly not to climb the 248 steps to the top. Here's a fun fact, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in America, and was also moved to its current location to save it from falling into the sea.
