It was such a pretty day after we finished the morning touring Hillsboro Inlet, I convinced John to take a drive to Jupiter lighthouse for one more climb for the day. It was well worth it!

Looking out the lighthouse window on the way to the top.



Looking up at the First order Fresnel lens.



Looking inside the Fresnel lens.



View from the top.



Back down the stairs.



All in all...a great day of lighthousing.

Another great set of photos. Thanks for taking us along. Looks like Jupiter might be due for a fresh coat of paint.

Some great views from the top. Amazing change to the whole complex since it was restored in 2000.

These are beautiful. I was there in Feb. 2009, but too late in the day to climb. Your photos say it all- great job!!
