Whaleback Lighthouse

"The least glamorous of Seacoast lighthouses, 50-foot high Whaleback Light sits in the middle of the Piscataqua River, not far from Fort Constitution and Fort Point Light in New Castle.
Built of granite and unpainted, Whaleback was erected in 1863 on a bit of land where another station had been established 41 years before.
The lighthouse is not open the public, but it can be seen from many spots along the shore."

Even though this says the "least glamorous of seacoast lighthouses", I think it is very beautiful! We viewed this from Odiorne Point at Rye Beach.

I rented a new lens for a week to see if it's something I would like. I have to say that, today I used it at the seacoast and thought it was fabulous! It is a Tamron 150-600mm lens. It's heavy, weighing a little over 3 lbs. It looks like I have a cannon attached to my camera! This is the first day I have been able to try it, because it has been raining. Today and tomorrow will be nice, but then rain for the rest of the week! I'm thinking about purchasing, but first I have to save some money!! :)
