More images of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Beach grass where the old homstead for the light keeper and family was with the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in the background.
The impressive iron work stairs all brought in by boat.
The 1000 watt electric light inside the French imported lense. The signature signal is two seconds on, two seconds off, then two seconds on and 14 seconds off.
Common Murrers through a spotting scope. Near the center at 10:00 is a chick among the nesting birds. This guano covered rock was only 5o yards off shore and had quite an odor.
