"A structure so simple acquires an aura of respect that grows to reverence on reflection. This is what attracts us. A lighthouse amounts to holy ground..." --From the Introduction. A guide and showcase of Fine Northwest Photography! These are Jewels in the World of Lighthouses! I closed my third summer shooting season creating exterior shots of 15 lighthouses protecting safe passage on this gorgeous inland sea. From Dofflemyer Point on Budd Inlet to Point Wilson on Admiralty Inlet, I have visited all the Federally Commissioned lights and a couple of picturesque but inactive lights. There is even one privately owned light that is Federally Commissioned, the only such light in the country! Decide now to purchase a copy my book "A Complete Guide to Lighthouses on Puget Sound!" It is a handy size at just 6"x9" and spiral bound, so it lays flat when you open it. It has a special clear vinyl cover to protect against spills and ocean mist! It will make the lighthouse lovers you know very happy! This book features nearly 100 pages of my own fine photographs and original research conducted at the Pacific Northwest Room of the Tacoma Public Library. The library is a repository of hundreds of original historical photographs. I included a complete light list derived from official US Coast Guard publications, as well as maps and driving directions!
