In response to Catherine Johnson‘s request, I am posting more photos of lighthouses.
Bodie Island Lighthouse, Outer Banks, NC
Currituck Lighthouse, Outer Banks, NC
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Outer Banks, NC
Ocracoke Lighthouse, Outer Banks, NC
Closer to home, for me, is “Old Barney” at Barnegat Light, NJ.

Point Bonita Lighthouse is on the San Francisco Bay, near the Golden Gate Bridge.

These really are wonderful images. Is there a reason that lighthouses are painted in different designs and colors?

Excellent question! Different colors and designs help mariners identify lighthouses, at least during the day, so that they have an idea of where they are at sea. Thanks for stopping by, Sue.

Indah, perhaps the images are too large. There should be 6 in all, or seven including the banner.

I have a wonderful picture in my mind of the painters putting up the masking tape for the diagonals on the Cape Hatteras, Hien … {grin}

Then you should see this checkered lighthouse, M-R. We did not have enough time to go there when we visited the Outer Banks:
