The first three photos were taken yesterday while the last one was taken in October. I would love to see all of these by boat.

Newport News Middle Ground Lighthouse, Newport News, Virginia

The closest you can be to this one without being on a boat is on the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge.

New Point Comfort Lighthouse, Bavon, Virginia

As you can see from the photo there’s scaffolding up and the lantern room has been removed. With some Googling I found this about the revitalization efforts. I look forward to seeing the end result especially since this lighthouse is on the doomsday list.

Wolftrap Lighthouse, Onemo, Virginia

This one is also on the doomsday list.

Chesapeake Light Tower, 13 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia

I was surprised that I could see it but the day was very clear. I’m going to try see this with a telescope. Come to think of it, maybe I will try seeing them all with a telescope.

I spent my Christmas exploring coastal Virginia.

I went to see if I could get a glimpse of the lighthouses in that area. New Point Comfort Light and Wolftrap Light are pretty far offshore. They’re actually in the photos here. I hope to see them by boat at some point.
