View from the North Head Lighthouse

Here we are in the tower that is the North Head Lighthouse, looking
north up the coast. This lighthouse is not as nice as the one in
Duluth construction-wise, and the glass lens has been replaced with a
plastic mirror...still interesting though. It was built because the
main lighthouse about a mile south, Cape Disappointment Lighthouse,
was hard to see from the north and many ships crashed. The area was
called the graveyard of the west. If you look closely, you can see the
reflection of the lighthouse window frames in the picture. I like
lighthouses.
