In case anyone is interested, I was surfing through the "Bronze Lady of Orlando" web site this afternoon when I came upon the following page.

All three Limited editions look like they may be "Must Haves". Not sure about the GLOW. I will probably pass on it.

Harbour Lights fills in the biggest hole in the GLOW line---West Quoddy! Thaaaank you.

Sankaty Head is one of the most requested lights in the "wish list" forum. They listened. Thank you.

Seguin and Marshall Point---well, that's just splendiferous.

Is there a Santa Claus? You bet, Virginia, and he lives in El Cajon.

It looks like Harbour Lights has done it again. The new releases look BEAUTIFUL. Now all we have to do is save our money and wait for them to ship.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Thank you Harbour Lights for remembering all us lighthouse lovers in New England. I bet all the dealers up here in the northeast will be extremely pleased with your latest reproductions. I know I'm happy with your choices!

That's the word from the East Coast where the temperature today went from 52 degrees to a current 20 degrees. The 45 mph winds really felt good today too.

2001 looks like it is starting with a bang! The new four look outstanding, and I really think that West Quoddy will be the best selling Glow for HL's in many years, if not number one. I am impressed.

One thing that I noticed about the new releases is the lower prices. I wonder if they are going to be a bit smaller in size?

I was very happy to see Marshall Point in the new releases. I was recently there and it is such a beautiful place that words could not do it any justice. February cannot come soon enough.

I'm really glad to see West Quoddy finally made it to the GLOW series. That is really a Great Lighthouse. You'll find West Quoddy on non-lighthouse calendars, note cards, towels etc. not just on the east coast but all throughtout the US. It is a well known east coast landmark and deserves to be a GLOW.

I agree with Jim that it's nice to see West Quoddy, but I'm disappointed that the keepers' house was omitted. This especially since the original LE so poorly depicted the keepers' quarters. It would have been nice if Y&A had finally "got it right" with this one like they did with the revised Portland Head GLOW. Maybe third time IS a charm.

I'm glad that Seguin will be one of the new Harbour Lights releases. MJ and I had the opportunity to visit Seguin this past summer. Here are a couple of pictures which will allow you to see that Harbour Lights continues to produce quality sculptures which are very accurate.

This shows the porch and outbuilding, which Harbour Lights has included in their miniature, as well as the wonderful 1st Order Fresnel Lens.

I think that Harbour Lights will have another real winner when Seguin hits the dealer's shelves.

My fear is that the Seguin tower won;t be thick enough. It needs to be "massive" on par with Gay head and Cape Disappointment. Please, HL, don't make it spindly...

Looks pretty solid Bill. It also looks quite a bit taller than Ron's photo depicts it!

That's what I'm afraid of. In reality it's a pretty short tower. Short 'n stocky.

Re: New pictures of Jan/Feb 2001 Releases - 12/17/00 05:06 PM

Sue... maybe it's just the camera angle which makes the tower look much taller. Bill... according to the photo in the link Sue provided (thanks!), it appears to be short and stocky. What do you think?

Tim - Merry Christmas!
