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.
I love the scenery near Montauk Point. It is a great place to take pictures. The Atlantic Ocean and the beaches make for some great photography. The Montauk Lighthouse is the main attraction in the area.
I added special effects to some of the pictures. Some of them are in sepia. Others pictures are in black and white. Other special effects I added are film grain, watercolor, colored pencil, and soft.
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 only did it one time. It is pretty high up. I don't yet have any pictures from up top yet.
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 the Montauk Point Lighthouse. You can get a lot more information here: Montauk Lighthouse
