Description
Beautiful early morning light strikes the historic buildings and tower of the Tybee Island Light. The lighthouse is located next to the Savannah River Entrance, on the northeast end of Tybee Island, Georgia. It is one of seven surviving colonial era lighthouse towers, though highly modified in the mid 1800s.
Ordered by General James Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony, in 1732, the Tybee Lighthouse has been guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah River for over 270 years. The Tybee Island Light Station is one of America’s most intact having all of its historic support buildings on its five-acre site. Rebuilt several times the current light station displays its 1916 day mark with 178 stairs and a 9 feet tall First Order Fresnel lens.

Jurgen, great looking crisp and well detailed black and white image of the Tybee Lighthouse ! ! ! Nice control and processing of the early morning lighting on all of the white surfaces, details are well managed in all areas. I also really like the sky gradient as it flows down and behind the lighthouse providing a very nice contrast to the image.
