Last Sunday I was having the itch to just drive around and take photographs of anything. So I grabbed my keys and gear, and hit the road. While driving around and trying to figure out what to capture, I started thinking about the one place I said I always wanted to go….. Barnegat Lighthouse. After a few minutes of thinking, I decided to go for it and headed for Long Beach Island.
When I got to the lighthouse, the sea breeze was cool and the sky was clear. I took a few shots of the outside while talking to a stranger about photography. Then I headed inside to go up to the top, not realizing that hauling a full camera bag up a spiraling, 217 step staircase is not a good idea. I had only spent a few minutes up top before heading back down because it was very crowded and hard to move around. By the time I was outside I was already sore and tired, but I still had a nice time and got to take some nice photos.
