Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Outer Banks, NC

It's interesting how the landscape changes in a hundred years. When the Currituck Lighthouse was first lit in 1875, it stood on a fairly barren piece of real estate. Today it's surrounded by a thick grove and from most directions, only the lantern room is visible above the canopy of trees.

And thus is the detractor's tale undone by those who read the signs - that great land - That America - has been and I pray can be again the lush victory of man's dreams of Freedom - What a beautiful expression of all that is right in USA ~:0)
