Bolivar Lighthouse

Port Bolivar, Texas Gulf Coast

The Bolivar Lighthouse was built by the federal government in 1852 and was later dismantled by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
It was rebuilt in 1872 and was the beacon that guided thousands of mariners into port until 1933.

an extremely pleasing photo Lynn, and I like the slight over exposure to bring out the detail in the structure.
I love lighthouses!
