On my daily drive out to work at The Kennedy Space Center through the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station I would often take a detour out to the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse as the sun was rising over the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this particular day (July 24th, 2015) I decided to walk around the lighthouse and photograph it as the sun was rising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A couple quick facts about the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Erected in 1868, the Lighthouse is 151 feet tall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The Lighthouse is topped with a 1st Order Fresnel lens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Due to storm surge in 1871, the Lighthouse was moved inland in 1893 and 1894 to its current location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
In 1939 the Coast Guard took ownership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
