On a breakwater off the shore of Port Washington, Wisconsin, is the Port Washington lighthouse, that prominent structure in the middle of my photograph. Built in 1935, it might be one of the few Art Deco lighthouses. On top is a red harbor light which flashes once every six seconds. The light is 78 feet above the surface of the water and is visible to a boat eight miles out from the harbor (undoubtedly a welcome sight far too many times to count). A fog horn up near the light gives two blasts every half minute at 24 second intervals, operating only during April through November. What do sailors rely on the rest of the year? I have no idea. Maybe it's foggy there only April through November. Which I doubt. The small port once had a thriving fishing industry, starting about 1850.

Although I don't call myself a photographer, I have taken thousands of photos through the years and now and then I end up with one that is printworthy.

PLEASE CLICK ON AD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS SITE I'm fortunate enough to have enjoyed a rather varied background in marketing, advertising, public relations, print and electronic media, TV production, and publication design in both corporate and non-profit organizations.
