    Love visiting lighthouses! Have been to see Hunting Island Lighthouse but it was closed that day :>( What a lovely state park though!

    I have not ever climbed a lighthouse, but it is now on my list of things to do! What a wonderful little lens you have put together here. You have been blessed.

    Yes, I've been to some east coast lighthouses and it was great fun to climb up to the top, though the narrow stairs make me claustrophobic. You've done a wonderful job showing us this lighthouse!

    South Carolina has a lot of awesome lighthouses. I love them.

    Yes, I have climbed the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse in Florida. It has a very scenic view.

    I have never climbed a lighthouse and I am afraid Hunting Island Ligthouse wouldn't be for me. I probably would make it until the first or second landing and then take my way down again. I have no problem with radio masts or something else I can reach with an elevator, but climbing up steps and being able to look down is a no go for me. Enjoyed the pictures though.

    I have climbed a lighthouse, and there was a great view. But, I wouldn't want the job of a lighthouse keeper! I've never visited this lighthouse, I'll have to put it on my list! :)

    Beautiful photos and I am so thrilled for you that you finally made it to the top of one of your beautiful lighthouses! Looking at the photo of the stairs, I can see exactly why you would be hesitant to climb further. I now I would never be able to look down :)

    I love informative and well presented lenses and this one is excellent! I love lighthouses and climbed one on the UK Soutch Coast many years ago - not sure if I am up to it these days though! Blessed by a passing Squid Angel

    No, I must admit, I haven't! I have my problem with heights, and so avoid to climb all kinds of high buildings, lighthouses included. But your article is a wonderful virtual tour which I enjoyed very much!

    Oh my! I am exhausted after following you on your climb to the top of the Hunting Island Lighthouse but sure did enjoy it. Your photos are excellent as usual and I love the one you chose for the magnet. I love the way it is framed with the trees, also. Blessed. Please stop by our South Carolina Group and submit this wonderful lens.

    I don't think I have ever climbed a lighthouse, but I'd love to try it someday. Congratulations on making it to the top! I really like your photo at the beginning, with the lighthouse framed by the trees.

    Congratulations on your fabulous climb! Gorgeous photos!

    Congratulations on overcoming your fears and reaching the top. What a great idea somebody had to put a little history on each of the landings. I've never climbed a lighthouse myself and not sure if I could even if I had the opportunity .

    Wow,quite a climb! I've climbed a lighthouse but I don't think it was as tall as Hunting Island Lighthouse. Love the way it has history on each landing, and your great pictures of them!

    the view up the top is magnificent..I am glad you went all the way up...
