A 203 step climb to the top of Florida's TALLEST Lighthouse!
I hear the view is amazing, but for medical reasons I was unable to attempt the climb! 8o( Maybe another day! 8o)

In the center is the top of the Lighthouse, with a moon shape showing which is the part of the windows, 175 feet high!

  Excellent and interesting POV/comp. As Monnie pointed out, it is so "clean"...a rarity among lighthouses...they must take extra care of this beautiful light. Glad to see it...and glad to see your excellent image as well.

What puts the icing on the cake for me is that bit of staircase at the bottom left. The whole thing is awesome and looking way up in there...WHOA!

Thank you, and I know just how you feel about not being able to climb the stairs. First the arthritis, then the vertigo stops me! Maybe for a few years on my birthday I could get 1 yr younger, then start up again... yo-yo ages! heheeee 8o)
