Tybee Island Lighthouse

Tybee Island stands at the mouth of the Savannah River, and in 1736

a 90 ft. wooden tower was built to aid navigation in the area. The

tower was the tallest structure of its kind in America at the time.

After it was washed away in a storm in 1741, work on a replacement

began immediately, with a wood and stone tower completed the

following year. This second tower met the same fate as the first,

so was replaced by a third in 1773 - a 100 foot brick tower with a

wooden interior staircase. All comments are welcome. Cheers, Sondra

Nice capture! If someone hasn't been to Tybee, they don't realize how 'cluttered' an environment is right around the lighthouse. You have done well to elliminate the houses, parking lots, and beach club! Nice time as well. I have actually only visited Tybee fairly recently (one of our daughters and her husband live in Savannah about 20 mins from this location). However, when we visited in June, the sky was much too bright and uninteresting at the time of day we were there ... and, of course, it is very nice to catch lighthouses with the light on! Cheers :-)

Hey there Sondra, what a good composition, plus I've got to say that if ever there was a perfect exposure to show the light of the lighthouse as well as it's surroundings, this has to be it......well done....Jim

Superb photo Sondra! Prefect exposure.

Thanks for sharing,

Nice color and lighting - should be a postcard!

Wonderful job! I love Tybee Island and the lighthouse is great, but as mentioned above, it is very cluttered around there...you've done a great job keeping the distractions down. I wish I had taken some night shots there...this is truly lovely! Nicely done.

Thanks to all for your great comments. Cheers, Sondra
