I recently found these old pictures of the Sombrero Key Lighthouse that were taken back in 2002. I was so proud of my BIG 2.5 megapixel camera back then.
The Sombrero Key Lighthouse is located off the coast of Marathon in the Florida Keys and marks a reef that is now an attraction for snorkeling tours. I personally am amazed at the engineering behind these skeleton lighthouses. All those little metal trusses and cables fitting together into a structure that can survive hurricanes...

I was just there yesterday :)
I travelled down from Norfolk, VA in my sailboat (see my blog) and am about to head home after 2 months in the Keys~
ya mon!
I was inside the light a few days ago to service the weather station. The tower is in bad shape. The next big storm will probably finish it. It is sad to see such a grand structure in this shape. Alas money drives all for better or worse.
