Geometric patterns in lighthouse

I love the juxtaposition of the geometric patterns of the natural and man-made in this set of photos of Race Point lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore and how the light draws your eyes to different features over the course of a day. I took these in October a few years back on an overnight trip with a friend during which we got to stay in the old lighthouse keepers cottage.

See the Race Point Lighthouse website for more photos or details on how you could schedule a visit.
