This ornament is a miniature model of North Carolina's Cape Lookout lighthouse. It's just over twenty kilometers, or about thirteen miles (as the crow flies), from the town where Ken grew up. In fact, on a clear day, you can see the lighthouse from the beach just across the sound. It's only accessible by boat.
I've been to Hatteras lighthouse, but I don't think I've been to this one.
It's cold this morning, about 3ºC outside the house. The vineyard will be colder. Freezing fog is forecast for some areas nearby. It's beginning to look a lot like winter.
You have a wonderful collection of Christmas ornaments. Currently 12C here but feels like 11. Brrr! Apparently going up to 16.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornaments and they all come with good memories.
