Yesterday I took a trip to the Sodus Point Lighthouse in Sodus, NY.  There are actually two lighthouses in Sodus, but only one allows visitors to climb up the lighthouse steps.  

Having never been inside a lighthouse before, I had no idea what the actual light looked like.  Now I know.  Although the lighthouse was only five stories tall, the view was lovely. Looking out I was able to see the other lighthouse down the road a bit.  It was a cool and overcast day, but there was one boat out on the water.  This little lighthouse may be small, but it is beautiful.  I love the stonework on the outside.  

Down at the pier was the smaller lighthouse, whose visitors seemed be be mostly of the winged variety.  I looked out at the water for a while, then looked up, looked waaay up and then headed back to shore and played in the grass.
