Jupiter Lighthouse through the eye of a Camera

This is our 4th year traveling to Jupiter and my 4th year photographing the lighthouse. I have been looking for different angles and conditions to photograph Jupiter lighthouse.

In this photo, I am across the inlet in Dubois park. This photo is taken at dusk, just as the light has been turned on in the lighthouse.

We are back in Jupiter for our 5th year and here is another view of the lighthouse form DuBois park.

Here is a sign we encountered as we entered the lighthouse grounds.

The lighthouse is on Coast Guard grounds and is restricted to those that purchase the lighthouse tour. This view is one I took on the tour soon after we entered the lighthouse grounds. The Lighthouse and Museum are open every Tuesday through Sunday. You can get a wealth of good information at their website www.lrhs.org

This photo was taken on the grounds of the lighthouse. You climb a series of steps as you approach the lighthouse tower.

It was a great experience to climb the steps of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is 105 ft high and there are 112 steps to climb to the top. I am not a lover of heights, so the first time I visited the lighthouse I only climbed halfway up. In 2011 I made myself climb to the top and I am so glad that I did. Once I was at the top I was not afraid at all and the views were breathtaking. I think I was too busy taking photographs to worry about the height. This view is looking toward the west where the bridge crosses the inlet.

This view is looking to the east. You can see where the inlet meets the Atlantic ocean. To your left is Jupiter island and to the right is the beaches at Jupiter. We stayed in the high rise condos you see on the right.

I thought the Palm bending over the water made a great shot. You get it from a unique angle when you climb up the steps of the lighthouse tower.

When I was at the top I could look inside the lens and take this photo. Our tour guide told us that the light inside the lantern house remains fixed and it is the Fresnel lens that rotates.

Early evening is a great time to photograph the lighthouse. The changing colors i n the sky, and the sun setting behind the clouds give a great backdrop for the lighthouse. This view was taken from one of my favorite restaurants, The Crab House, right across the bay from the lighthouse.

The lighthouse looks dramatic at night. The floodlights illuminate the lighthouse and bring out the red color.

I found the lighthouse fascinating at night. I could see the light shining from the balcony of our condo. I often walked out on the balcony at night just to watch the light moving around. It must be a wonderful sight if you are out at sea.

I love this photo of the lighthouse against the bright blue sky!

One evening we took a drive over to Jupiter Island. This photo shows the lighthouse as taken from the Island.

This is a closeup photo of the top of the lighthouse. It was taken with a telephoto lens one early evening right after a storm.

There is a wonderful boat tour that you can take around Jupiter Island. The tour gives you information on the lighthouse and lots of information on the celebrities that live on Jupiter Island. This photo was taken while I was on the boat tour.
