Split Rock Lighthouse

Crossing the southern end of Lake Champlain on the car ferry from Charlotte in Vermont to Essex in upstate New York, I was straining to get a glimpse of Split Rock Lighthouse further down the New York shore. Eventually, I managed to locate it in the trees near the end of the promontory but the photo is very distant. The first light on the site dated from 1838. It was replaced by this octagonal stone tower in 1867.
