Sandy Point State Part is so close to me yet I never seem to get over to it so this morning I visited the park and shot some beautiful sunrise pictures of the Bridge.
Super Moon
The full moon of November 14, 2016 is not only the biggest, closest and brightest supermoon of this year. It’s the closest supermoon since January 26, 1948. I had some time and the right weather to photograph the super moon at Sandy Point Light. I captured the Tug Boat Captain Johnny with Sandy Point Light and the super moon. Enjoy!
Baltimore Light
A few pictures from Thursday nights boat trip on the Chesapeake Bay. Pictures of Baltimore Light and navigation buoys from the shipping channel. Great evening on the bay.
Craighill Lower Range Rear Light
Craighill Range Light Sunset
So you get two entries today got out one more time today. Great evening on the bay.
"Craighill Channel Lower Range Light Rear (Miller’s Island) was originally to be a screwpile light. The lighthouse was constructed in 1873 on 9 granite piers with a pyramidal iron skeletal tower with square central cylinder with a fourth order Fresnel lens. It is a unique style for the Chesapeake Bay and is painted with a white base, a red top and a gray lantern. This lighthouse originally had integral keeper's quarters built into its lower portion. The quarters were removed in the 1930s. This lighthouse is the tallest Maryland lighthouse."

Took a chance this morning and went out on the boat. Despite a drizzle of rain the sun briefly poked its head out. Last picture is the work being completed on the light in 1901, picture from the USCG.
