Derby Wharf

Click picture for larger image

The Derby Wharf Lighthouse can be found off Derby Street in Salem, Massachusetts (and you thought they only had witch stuff). It's not very tall (comparatively) and can be accessed by walking down the wharf. One of the difficulties in accessing this lighthouse is finding a place to park! I finally found a side street which gave a good view of the lighthouse, but was reluctant to leave my car there long enough to walk down the wharf. If you park in Salem, expect to walk a good 30 min to get to this light.

Most of the lighthouses I shot were found from these pages:

I made a list and organized them by area. On a good day, I was able to visit 10 lighthouses. Other times, I would only get to shoot 2 or 3 and then my schedule would require me to skedaddle off somewhere. Most of the pics are recent (within the last month). The last one was taken as the sun went down last night (Bass River Light).

Some of the shots were taken with a digital camera and others with a Cannon Rebel SLR. Between this post and the next, I'm going to pick up the last 3 rolls of film that needed to be developed. I still have to download yesterday's shots from the digital camera. If you've never done a blogathon, believe me...you don't get bored and fall asleep with a theme. It's easy to stay awake. It's hard to get your posts done in time.
