Beautiful series of very interesting architecture. Are the twin lights "lighthouses"? Yea, if you can't tell I've never seen these buildings before.

Nice set. I particulaly like the second one. Normally I'm not a fan of a central subject but here I think it works

Nice! I love lighthouses!

Have you been to the one in Atlantic City, it's the third tallest in the U.S.
My son and I climbed to the top of it and we both died! That's alot of steps to climb

Both of these are very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen one as elaborate as your first one. Very interesting.

thanks for the kind words.
the single house is at the end of sandy hook. the twin lights (which is a lighthouse) is just across the Hudson, right at the beggining of sandy hook, but just off rt 35..if you get to sandy hook, look lefty across the river- you can't miss it.
never been to the one at A.C, but i will make it a point to. thanks
a view from the twin lights (only allowed up one side) shows sandy hook across the water-the peninsular..sadly the view wasn't great this day, and the shot took a further kick in the teeth due to the yellow tape..lol

after sparkie's suggestion..

Nice shot from the top of the lighthouse. PP the tape out if you dont like the way it looks.
