Secluded and Shuttered

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 12 October 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is a shot of one of my favorite lighthouses in NJ, East Point Light. It is pretty well secluded and not easy to find if you don't know where it is. In other words you wouldn't just stumble upon it while driving through a shore resort in NJ. It is located on the Delaware Bay side of NJ in the Maurice River area in Cumberland County. It made me sad to see it shuttered and appearing to have fallen quickly into neglect since last year.

I took this shot last June at about 6 in the morning which meant leaving home between 3 am and 4 am to get there, it is not very close to me. I had posted some shots of it earlier on my other blog and some from that day here as well.

I wanted to use this post to let everyone who might be interested know about the 2007 NJ Lighthouse Challenge which is annual event. It will be the on October 20 & 21 this year. I did it last year and it was fun and afforded a lot of great photos. It was also a gorgeous weekend last year. Hopefully it will be beautiful again this year. I'm not sure I will be doing it this year or not. I would really like to but schedules may not allow it. We'll see.

Remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I have some useful links posted on my other blog on this post.
