The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse – July 24th, 2015

Over my 40 year career working at The Kennedy Space Center, one of the best parts was the drive into work through the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, now known as the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

As the sun was rising to the East over the Atlantic Ocean, I would often detour out to the beach and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse for some photos.

Enjoy these photos of the lighthouse on a hot steamy July Florida morning.

I was able to walk around the lighthouse and get some great photos from several different angles.

About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
