Yaquina Head Lighthouse staircase



I love lighthouses.   I envision a handsome lighthouse keeper and his buxom bride standing in the lighttower, embracing ala Jack and Rose style, wind blowing their hair and sea mist moistening their brows.  In reality I know it must have been a lonely life of hard work in unforgiving elements. Still, I can't help but feel romantic whenever I see one of these sentinels of the past. 
This photo is of the staircase leading up to the lighttower at Yaquina Head lighthouse in Oregon. Can't you just see that handsome lightkeeper and his beautiful wife ascending the stairs, hand in hand, blanket and bottle of wine in tow.....ahhh.
