Bert,
We are on the same team with this release. Looks wonderful. Not a WOW -- but not a dog either.

I was in this lighthouse before I was into lighthouses, figure that one out. Will I buy it? Oh yes I will! I felt so strongly about Harbour Lights making this piece that it would have been my first choice if I was ever to win the Register & Win Contest. I figured my chances of doing that were slim and none, so you can see why I'm excited about its release. North Block Island also has a true first, a motor vehicle on the sculpture. Now that's a nice touch and it also dates the period of time the sculpture represents. Bob

Nice lighthouse but, won't buy. Only Florida lights regional events, and variations.

I finally got my North Block yesterday, and love it. The pickup truck is a nice addition but it looks a little out of proportion in size to the Light. The flagpole and donation brick area was left out, this would have been a nice touch for the supporters.  Bob

I may purchase this one after we go to Block Island next week and see the real deal. It's a great piece, and from the photos (and hopefully the first-hand experience!) to be a great light. I might see if I can find a good deal on eBay.

Have been there, and have been asking HL to make this piece for over two years. Bought it and love it.
