Thursday Postcard Hunt - Lighthouses
Lighthouses
It's been many years, decades, since I've visited a lighthouse. I don't know if they are open for the public to climb up anymore, but when I was a child they were, at least the west coast.
Linen postcard of Butler's Flat Light-House in New Bedford, MA, now called Butler Flat Light. It's a sparkplug lighthouse, or "coffee pot."
Next week is Cathedrals.
I never had the chance to climb a lighthouse as a child, but I've always been fascinated by them. Your linen postcard of Butler's Flat Light is a cool find! I've never heard of the "sparkplug" or "coffee pot" style lighthouse before.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of that kind either until I saw the postcard. I like linen postcards. I like their colors. I don't remember much about climbing them, other than the endless spiral steps! No going back until you reached the top, others were right behind.
DeleteLighthouses are a big passion of mine. But I didn't know the concept of "coffee pot lighthouse" :)
ReplyDeleteBoth great cards! I like that the second lighthouse is sitting in the water.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it would depend on the lighthouse. I haven't been to one in ages, either.
ReplyDeleteWell, I (and apparently everyone else) learned a new term for a lighthouse! I'm not usually a big fan of multiview cards, but when there is a common theme it is nice to see the differences of one coast.
