TRAVELS WITH CHERYL 2: THE LIGHTHOUSES OF SCITUATE, MA.

 My sister Cheryl and I have a plan to photograph covered bridges and lighthouses as a way to get out and about during these Covid-19 days. We wear our masks and social distance from others, and because of travel restrictions we are limited to just Massachusetts at the moment. But it's a few hours out of her house and my apartment and we enjoy each other's company.

We didn't have far to go to visit two lighthouses. The coastal town of Scituate is only 15 miles to the east of here, so one Monday morning in mid-November we went there and took some pictures. First we stopped at the Scituate Lighthouse which sits on a beach over looking the water. It was a bright sunny day and very windy, so windy I thought it would knock me over at one point.







 

Next we wanted to get a shot of Minot's Light which sits out in the water and has been the subject of some truly spectacular photographs taken during big storms. It took a bit of exploring to find a clear view from the shoreline because of the private homes along the road, but finally Cheryl found a spot and took this photo for me since the view was from the driver's side of her car. It's a great shot.



So we had two lighthouses done for our list of those we had photographed.
