A very different prospective of lighthouses than I was able to visit last year, Grandma.
To get the reflection photo at St Marks, you have to walk behind the base of the lighttower and down the path?? Could have been high tide and no path. It looks like you were close on the beach. It was about 75 feet in off the beach through the grass, bushes, etc, I'm sure there are snakes and gators. When we climbed the tower, the CG made us wait until they checked for rattlers on the stairs.
