    Old Point Comfort Lighthouse - Absolutely thrilled to see the lighthouse and the rest of Fort Monroe.

      Sooo different from other lighthouses I've visited. Check out the steps! I don't quite understand how they built them. The hourglass-like device is the LED light bulb in the Fresnel lens. Wow. You should enlarge the black and white photo. This is the lighthouse of Old Point Comfort "back then". You can see Fort Monroe's wall and cannon openings on the right. I'm not sure how the builders were going to miss the lighthouse if they ever had to fire from these ports. Thank you to the USCG and Fort Monroe Authority staff for making lighthouse geeks euphoric.
