This is the very wonderful Fenwick Island Lighthouse built in 1859. They had said they would be open to go up in it but when we got there all seemed shut.
When we were staying in Ocean City MD, we drove up the road to the state line and found this somewhat anomalous lighthouse. Anamolous because Fenwick Island isn't actually an island. Maybe it was once but it sure ain't now. And another thing, you can't see the lighthouse from the sea. Maybe you could once but you sure can't now. It lies in the middle of a quiet street, leading down to the coastal road and from then another walk to the dunes. Goes to show the impressive land reclamation that has taken place here.
I have placed this photo in Delaware because the far side of the street is in Delaware, where thelighthouse is. This side of the street and the tree in which I'm precariously perched, is in Maryland, but you know what I mean.
