Point Wilson Lighthouse - the Ball Vent

            The ball vent atop the Point Wilson Lighthouse.

The Point Wilson Lighthouse, near Port Townsend Washington, marks the entrance to the Puget Sound at Admiralty Inlet.

This lighthouse has been an active aid to maritime navigation since the day its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1914.

The nautical charts show this lighthouse at 51' tall, casting an alternating white / red flash every 5 seconds visible for 15 miles.

I used a KITE to fly the camera.
