Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse
First built in 1801, this light stands 45 feet tall. It's 7.5 inch, 5th order Fresnel Lens is visible to 14 miles. The light flashes White, every 7 and half seconds, with a Red Sector. This light guides fishermen returning into Gloucester Harbor.
It was tricky getting out into Wigwam point in the Annisquam neighborhood of Gloucester. Frankly, it's all private roads, so, only locals and Coast Guard personnel are in that area. Pity me, as I somehow got lost on my way around Gloucesterand ended up at exactly the correct place to get my photos of this Lighthouse.
I shot some 50 or so lighthouse shots that day, between two lights. A little work in Lightroom, and I built this two image Panorama. I thought it was perfect for The Color Challenge - Friday BlueSky - Photo Challenge started by @kalemandra. #colorchallenge #photocontests
