For the Love of Lighthouses!

If you love lighthouses you are in luck.  Photographer and author David Zapatka will discuss his images of Northeastern lighthouses and stars on Sunday, June 3, at 2:00 pm at the Bruce Museum Seaside Center in Greenwich Point Park, Old Greenwich. The presentation is part of the Fred Elser First Sunday Science Series at the Seaside Center, which includes family activities on lighthouses and stars from 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Members of the Greenwich Astronomical Society will also be on hand to help with star charts and night sky activities.



After seeing these images of the Sheffield Lighthouse and other lighthouses displayed at this event, visitors may want to take a cruise to Sheffield Island with the Seaport Association in Norwalk with their camera in hand!  The cruise to Sheffield Island is about a three hour "on the water" journey that offers a variety of angles and photo ops of the lighthouse. An additional bonus is the hour or so on the island that you can use to line up that perfect shot!  



 The Association's vessel goes out at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and runs every Saturday and Sunday in June and daily in July and August. For tickets and more information click here.
