"Guidance"

Humankind has been finding its way using the night sky since the beginning of recorded history. Mariners, desert dwellers and even animals and insects have all used stars, planets, the moon and sun as a source of guidance to find their way.

Lighthouses offer yet another source of guidance, a warning, to steer clear of dangers including shallow depths, reefs, shorelines and more. Today, with the advent of GPS, our lighthouses no longer serve this once critical purpose but remain standing and operational as monuments to a time past. Their individual architecture and decor are not without purpose, each one lending specific information to sailors passing by.
