As much as I love lighthouses, I never once thought I would want to live in one. But, I would love to live in view of one. To wake up each morning, look out my window and see one across the water. Far across or nearer, it wouldn't matter, and to go to sleep at night seeing the light flash, and hearing the fog horn on foggy nights. That is what I would really love.
Now for my preference of a lighthouse to see from my house, it would have to be Lubec Channel light or Minot's Ledge. The lights in the water like those two just amaze me.
Lubec because the only time I saw it, the fog was playing hide and seek with it(got some great pictures). Minot's because after all the punishment the sea has given it, it is still there, and as beautiful as ever.
