Apparently it’s National Lighthouse Day, which we learned at the bottom of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. May serendipity always conceal our ignorance.
The lighthouse’s 1 million bricks are being repointed, but you could still climb the 220 steps of this 151 year old tower.

The Currituck Beach Lighthouse, an all brick edifice standing 162’ above ground. Construction is underway to repoint the one million bricks.
Close-up view of a lighthouse lantern house against a clear blue sky. The structure features glass panels and a black metal railing.
Looking up from the base of a spiral metal staircase towards the distant top of the lighthouse. The outer circular walls are made of brick.
Looking east towards the Atlantic, across some marshy weedy low lying areas. The sky is bright blue with white puffy clouds here and there.
