#82518: F11a- St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum

This picture provides a view of the Matanzas River leading in to downtown St. Augustine from the very top of the lighthouse. The wrought-iron railing that surrounds this walkway is painted red. From this perspective, the viewer can see the River that stretches toward the horizon and disappears into the blue sky. While this view offers today's visitor a unique vantage point, this walkway allowed the original lightkeepers to better assist the vessels as they navigated their way into the city.
