Pictures of Point Lookout Lighthouse from October 26-27, 2001

View from the cupola in the lighthouse, looking upriver on Chesapeake Bay toward Baltimore and Point No Point Lighthouse.   The shadow of the cupola is in the right hand corner of the picture (to the left of the date stamp).   This picture was taken at 3 pm, little sun, many clouds and a wind of 30 mph.

The view from the cupola, looking upriver on the Potomac River, toward Virginia.

View from the cupola, looking toward Virginia's Northern Neck.    To the left of the picture, the Potomac River empties into Chesapeake Bay.

Where Potomac River meets Chesapeake Bay.   The confluence of the river and bay occurs here.

Potomac side of the lighthouse.     The shadows in the upstairs bedroom windows (2nd and 4th from the left) have silhouettes that are backlit to cast a shadow on the wall for an eerie effect.    As the hayrides approach the lighthouse, the lights will be brightened and then dimmed.   Volunteers will wear capes and dart back and forth in the windows to draw attention to the lighthouse.  Another silhouette is in the dining room (left side of the house,  first row of windows,  2nd window from the front); this shadow is more visible at night than in this picture.

Closer view of the shadows in the windows upstairs.

Potomac side of the lighthouse, looking spooky at sunset with the clouds in the sky and the only light is the cupola.

This is me standing in front of the lighthouse during the light check before Ghost Walk begins.    I'm wearing my leather cap and my Pea Coat.   The wind is blowing about 30 mph, and the temps are dropping into the 40s as the sun sets.

Me standing in front of the lighthouse, holding the lantern that I will shine on the hayrides as they come by.   Since I was running around doing final light checks, I kept my tennis shoes on!  I changed into proper boots once the show began.
