As a matter of fact : we got a lighthouse in Paris, you know, a brilliant idea to advertaise for a fish market. You can see it on GattoGiallo's Flickr or ParisPointGriset.
Hello everyone. I was born in New York City. I live on Long Island now. New York is the only state I have ever lived in. Montauk Point is shown above in the picture.
The love the scenery at Montauk Point. It is a great place to take pictures. The Atlantic Ocean and the beaches make for great pictures. Of course the lighthouse is the main attraction.
I added the special effects to some of the pictures. Some of them are in antique. Others I did in black and white. The black and white pictures are smoother looking then the antique ones.
Other special effects are also added on some: Film grain, Sepia, and Soft.
I will have more pictures in summer of 2008 which will be digital.
The Montauk Lighthouse is at the eastern tip of Long Island. I usually go in the summertime. Weekends in the summer have the biggest crowds.
They have a place there where you can get something to eat which I always stop in. You can also go in the museum which is full of history about Montauk and Long Island. They also have a gift shop which sells everything lighthouse related.
You can also climb the lighthouse and go up the 137 steps. I did it only one time and it is very high up. I don't yet have any pictures from up top.
How do you get there?
From New York City Go East on I-495 to Exit 70 South on Route 111 to Route 27 East on Route 27 until you get to Montauk Point. You can get a lot more information here: Montauk Lighthouse
