Point Reyes Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

Point Reyes Lighthouse

            Short in stature but full of grit and toughness, the Point Reyes Lighthouse occupies one of the most rugged spots along the California coast. The wind is torturous here, with wind speeds of 60mph common. It was blowing about that strong the evening I snapped this picture. I remember having trouble standing still enough to focus the shot. If that isn't rough enough, there are 308 steps on that stairway. That means 616 steps roundtrip--enough to get the old knees screaming. I definitely had a moment of sympathy for the old lighthouse keepers whose quarters are located at the top of the stairs. That's a tough daily commute.
