Description
These are the final stairs that lead to the light platform at the Umpqua Head Lighthouse, 65 feet above the ground, and 165 feet above sea level.
The bronze plaque on the pole provides information on the lens: it was made in Paris in 1890.

I'll just have a little puff on my inhaler...a really super 'into the light' compo.

I really love the details in this, especially the telescope. There's a part of me that would love to live in a lighthouse. Imagine the stories I'd be able to come up with. Stunning shot. The light is great; nicely dreamy! For me it's a bit surreal too; one doesn't often see a telescope apparently under a set of stairs and I rather like that sense of visual surprise. This is excellently seen!

Nice capture. The light at the top provides a sense of anticipation as you ascend those last six steps.

A brilliant compo, of course; and I'm sure those last steps are a welcome sight to anyone who's gotten that far! Beautiful image!

Wonderful stiars to the light platform. I feel the tension of the view.

Excellent shot of the last steps. OH MY! Did you have any breath left? I like that telescope. Wish I could try that out :) OH Yeah. I do have one in one of the outhouses.

Those stairs are amazing, but they look a little over-built Tara. I'm sure they would support an elephant scampering up there, which is itself a nice vision to imagine!

Very beautiful stairs ,Tara. And of course ,as always ,the more difficult step is the last

I love the feeling of ascending into the light - a gorgeous capture, Tara! Love your lighthouses!!

Great image beautifully composed. I remember that brass plaque. I am sure the lighthouse keepers had to keep all the brass in immaculate condition upon the out chance of suddenly receiving a surprise inspection. Reminds me of my days polishing brass at The Citadel:)
