Chatham Lighthouse, USA

this card comes as a RAS from the Evans Family who had actually seen this one in my wish list album, and found it for me....thank you soooooooo much!!! For everything!!!!!!

here is what's on the back of the card

Cape Cod
Massachusetts

The Chatham Lighhouse was originally built in 1808. It was one of a pair of identical lighhouses, the other one having been moved and is now the Nauset Beach Light. The beam from the lighhouse can be seen 28 miles at sea. The U.S. Coast Guard maintains an active search and sea rescue station at the light.

lovely...i love this gloomy foggy tone...gives a true feeling of seeing the lighthouse in action!

Cape Cod, USA (02)

A lottery card.....again.....i still wonder if there really is something reciprocal between having luck in these kind of things, and the real life in general...ive already mentioned this somewhere, im not sure at which card exactly..


This is actually a great card....both lighthouses and a map implemented into one :D


Lighthouses of Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Until the Cape Cod Canal opened in 1914, every vesse sailing between Boston and points south had to weather the dangers of Cape Cod's dreaded sand bars that thrust out into the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1977, the US government constructed the first lighthouse on Cape Cod. These lonelt sentinels have since provided guidance to mariners.

Cape Cod, USA

A card I won in a lottery...it is a set of three cards...here is the first one today....
Funny thing...there is a saying (at least here) that the one who has luck in cards, doesnt have it in love....i end up winning lotteries a bit often....khm....


And a beautiful lighthouse for me...

Nobska Light, Woods Hole, Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusets

Operated by the coast guard, Nobska Light has a commanding position overlooking Falmouth and Woods Hole harbours. Unlike many other lighthouses, Nobska Light does not revolve, it blinks in a fixed range every five seconds............now thats a lot of blinking....
