Description
The Bodie Island Lighthouse, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, backed by some moody skies! 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!

Thank you, Bob. I also have an older image of this lighthouse hanging on my wall! I have photographed it many times over the years!
