Thanks to Joel Milton for the fotos of the lights of the Lower New York Bay:  Romer Shoal and

West Bank.

And thanks to Tom Mann for the fotos of Boston Light in the foreground  and Graves Light distance, and for

this shot of Minot’s Ledge off Cohassett.

Mystery light is Grand Haven Light in western Michigan.

An unforgettable lighthouse collage appears as cover art for Howard Norman’s dark novel  The Bird Artist.  Here’s the cover and a synopsis.
