This is looking up to the top of the lighthouse 219 steps to the very top interesting fact the one that was the lightkeeper took care of the light and keeping it burning had to carry 30 pounds of oil up to the very top of the 219 steps a few times a night to keep the light from going out to daylight.

Was that everyday Chuck or it was just a history? Haha I wouldn't try working there to step up 219 and back. What a dizzy great shot of the stairs!
This was in the late 1800s and if you had that kind of job that’s what you would be doing I was looking up history about the most highly paid find lighthouse keeper was a woman.
Omg highest paid? Cool! Maybe you have to sing walking up and down to let the time pass unnoticed.
Yes it’s good acoustics makes even a bad singer sound good 😂
Oh yeah haha..because the building is close! Your voice will really sound good there hymning just like in bathroom. God bless you brother.
That sounds like some back breaking work.
They say this place is also hunted lol. http://hauntedhouses.com/florida/saint-augustine-lighthouse/
Somehow it probably is. Probably a ton of history there.
and they are still using the old style oiler
No lighthouse is retired by the Coast Guard in 2002 http://hauntedhouses.com/florida/saint-augustine-lighthouse/
Fantastic photos with extraordinary perspectives. I really like lighthouses and one of my dreams is to visit the whole New England area
That be so cool to do a Tour of lighthouses around the world.
