Lighthouse of the Week, June 22-28: Two from the Bahamas


When I started looking at Bahamas lighthouses, I realized quickly there were a lot of them. So instead of one this week, I chose two, which are quite distinctly different.

The first one is the candy-striped Hope Town lighthouse on Abaco.  Judging from the Google image search, it is photographed a lot.  It's also called Elbow Cay.

Lighthouses of the Bahamas has a short description of this one.




















The second is the modernistic Eastern Road lighthouse on Nassau, which is not the most photographed lighthouse on Nassau because there is a lighthouse that everyone sees when they fly into Nassau.  But this Eastern Road lighthouse is quite interesting.  And also interestingly, I haven't been able to find a single written description of it anywhere on the Web!
