"Where in North America?" -- Section II

[Southwest Dave]

It looks a little like from Zabriske point, but I'm not sure.

[Mark Sedenquist]

It's a little unusual to see rain clouds in Death Valley -- but that's the view from Zabriske Point looking almost due east....

I was pretty stumped on the ones on the east coast -- this one is another from the West (sorry Foy).... What's the name and location of this one? One hint: This is one of the tallest lighthouses in America....

(sorry Foy)....

No worries here, mate. I'm enjoying the heck out of these visual brain-teasers, and their locations are all fine with me. I'll post some East Coast scenes before long.

Keep 'em coming, regardless of the longitude reading.

No idea where this is (in the fact the only photo I've known for sure in all 28 pages was the one from Ely ... and someone beat me to it) but I didn't want this one to pass without saying: Wow, what a stunning photo.

{Thanks for that high praise -- coming from you -- that's high praise indeed! Slight correction for those just joining us today... instead of 28 pages, there are actually an additional 30 pages here, for a current total of 59 pages in this "Where in North America" is this place? game....}

That's one lovely photo.

I have no idea which lighthouse it is.

Is that Point Arena?

[Mark Sedenquist]

It's on the California coast... (and no, it's not Point Arena... but a pretty good guess)

[glc]

Then it must be Pigeon Point.

[Mark Sedenquist]

Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872. Its five-wick lard oil lamp, and first-order Fresnel lens, comprised of 1,008 prisms, was first lit at sunset, November 15, 1872. The lens stands 16 feet tall, 6 feet in diameter, and weighs 8,000 pounds.... read more here on the State Park website...

Here's an impressive aerial photo and part of the property is actually now a hostel!
