What a wonderful site is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. This view is from across the inlet looking north from New Smyrna Beach. It stands today as one of the best preserved and most complete authentic light stations in the nation. It was completed in 1887 and is the tallest lighthouse in the state of Florida at 175 feet high. Across the inlet are a few scattered homes and a couple of marinas. I was intrigued by the way the landscape was divided into three different sections, the sky, the water and the beach. Each section was to be it's own element. The "Z" composition brings you from the bottom left to the middle right and then pushes you back to the left again where the lighthouse is the exclamation point of the painting. A nice trip through the painting and up the 203 steps to the top of the 175 foot tower. Are you ready to make the trip?
