This is the Little Red Lighthouse aka Jeffrey's Hook Lighthouse locate directly under the George Washington Bridge on the New York side of the Hudson River. The bridge itself has gained a lot of notoriety lately due to politics. This was shot from the New Jersey side in Fort Lee. I have been wanting to photograph this for sometime but today was my first opportunity. The weather wasn't the best so I will go back. I also plan to visit the lighthouse on the NY side one of these day. The lighthouse is 40 feet high and was relocated here in 1921. The bridge was opened in 1931 and is 604 feet high.

Re: The Little Red Lighthouse
I kinda like the red in the first shot...it breaks the overall blue of the shot...

Re: The Little Red Lighthouse
Fascinating Steve. I've been over that bridge many times but never knew that there was a lighthouse there. Thank you for sharing!

Re: The Little Red Lighthouse
Nicely spotted. Is it just me or do all of those verticals play havoc with your eyes?
