This time of year people seldom think about lighthouses. Our thoughts and attention are devoted toward the Christmas season. We spend time shopping for family and friends, giving gifts, sharing food and fellowship, and enjoying the sparkle of colorful lights. Each year as part of our celebration, we talk about the beautiful Christmas lights. But, the one light that has been remembered longer and talked about more years than the light from any of the lighthouses is the Star that shone bright in the Bethlehem sky the night Jesus was born in a manger.
Merry Christmas
About Me
- Al
- After retirement, for two summers I worked as a tour guide at the Umpqua River Lighthouse in Oregon. This opportunity enabled me to learn more about that lighthouse than any of the others I've seen. Although I have personally visited and photographed over 300 lighthouses in the United States and three Provinces in Canada, the Umpqua River Lighthouse has special meaning for me. That Lighthouse inspired me to write two fictional books with the characters working, living, and enduring the challenges of lighthouse keeping. All pictures posted in this blog were taken by myself, unless noted otherwise.
