I visited a couple of Long Island lighthouses a few weeks ago, and finally got a chance to see some Staten Island lights for the first time on a bitterly cold day yesterday. Here are some of the pics:

Cary,

Some very nice photos. New Dorp can be a bit difficult to see part of the year.

I'm not sure I'd want to try and get to Cedar Island in the middle of January. I've only seen it from a boat.

The Staten Island Rear Range LH used to be very interesting to visit. there was a woman who lived next door that would go ballistic when people came around.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks. I was a little confused at New Dorp by the "No Trespassing" sign on the fence. After seeing another sign there that stated something about keeping dogs on a leash, I figured it was a park-type area and they meant no trespassing (into the buildings/homes). Or that's my hope anyway. Cedar Island was a bit of an adventure since it was very cold and it took me longer than expected to walk out there and back (I was planning on getting to Montauk Point afterward for sunset).

I couldn't recall if Staten Island Rear Range was on private grounds or not, so I quickly snapped some photos from the road and took off. Luckily I didn't encounter any ballistic neighbors smile
