Description
The Bodie Island Lighthouse in Black and White! This Bodie Island Lighthouse is the third that has stood in this vicinity of Bodie Island on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and was built in 1872. It stands 156 feet (48 m) tall and is located on the Roanoke Sound side of the first island that is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The lighthouse is just south of Nags Head. The 170-foot structure is one of only a dozen remaining tall, brick tower lighthouses in the US, and one of the few with an original first-order Fresnel lens to cast its light. I has 214 steps that spiral to the top!

Sometimes images just scream out for black and white. This then, is a perfect example. Just outstanding!

How small the house looks against the grand, bold pinnacle of the lighthouse!
Fon Denton replied:
The original keeper's shelter is indeed small by comparison. There is a much larger one, built in the early 1900's, about a hundred yards in front of this. I left that out of this composition.
