If my memory serves me correctly, you were in a red shirt that day so at first I thought this was you! I love that you've captured a parent bringing his child to visit a landmark that is historically significant. Lighthouses are a wonderful way to teach children about the basics of sea life and "odd" architecture! Nicely done, bill! #264096
