While traveling to the reunion we visited a number of lighthouses, and I have a picture of one that I don't know the name of. The lighthouse in question was visible from the parking area of the Stonington harbor lighthouse, it is a spark plug style light and was to the southwest from the parking area (I think) if I had my internal compass set correct.
Thanks in advance, Mark

Mark, If it was a good mile to 1 1/2 miles away looking towards the Montauk area, it was Latimer Reef, which is a breakwater light off of Fisher's Island I believe. I think I shot that one too last year with a 205mm zoom lens, but it was too far away for a sufficient photo.

Yep, Latimer's Reef.
I remember the lady at Watch Hill LH pointed it out. We could also see Montauk and Stonington Harbor from there.

Mark, does the sparkplug style light have a reddish brown horizontal stripe about halfway up the white tower? If it does it's Latimer Reef.

That was definitely Latimer's Reef. When my husband and I boated by it last, they were renovating it. It was looking very good.
