Photos by Rick Ewing - It was early in the morning when I took these photos. The photos with the sunburst are real and not photoshopped. I like to hike in the State Park and carry my camera. I will return to the lighthouse someday and capture images during sunset.

It was a perfect day to visit as the clouds had rolled away just enough for the sun to come out. This particular photo I told my son I'd give him a head start in a race to the Lighthouse.

This particular photo the wind was blowing the tall grass and had a very peaceful feel to it.

Photos by Yilong Li - All images were taken on June 20th 2022 early evening around 7:00pm. I was the only one at the park. I want to use the drone photographs to show the loneliness and empty feeling of this particular landscape. Comparing to the ocean and the trees, the lighthouse is so small but so special. It is like every individual in this world, we might be tiny but we are all special and important to our family, friends. I also want to utilize the images to show how strong the lighthouse is and it has been standing there forever.

Timothy Emanuele - These photos were taken by me on October 9, 2022. I am working on a lifetime photography project where I visit all the lighthouses I possibly can and take pictures of them to capture their beauty, personality, story and glory. Here are how myself and my lens captured the beauty and glory of Turkey Point Light Station.

John Moll - . I love the view up the steps. I think of the countless keepers and all the trips up and down to keep the light burning.

Scott Kelsey - Photos I took during my last hike to the Lighthouse and a poem I wrote.
Turkey Point Light
You light the night,
A beacon of beauty,
Guide me,
Through the rocky times,
Shallows of my mind,
Foggy grey or moonless black,
Ships run to her,
Ships run back,
They look to the Point,
A light in the night,
The ghost of Fannie Salter,
Keeper of Light Shining,
A light in the night. |
