This was Sunday evening at Sunset Beach in Cape May, NJ. It was brutally cold. It's been 7 or 8 years since it was cold enough for ice on the bay and out to the SS Atlantus.

A two-story cast-iron dwelling with two gables stands on a massive iron caisson, its sides streaked with bird guano, in a calm sea under a cloudy sky. A short square tower rises from one corner, topped by an octagonal lantern with one red pane. Seabirds are perched on the railing of the gallery surrounding the lantern.
May the spirit of #PharosFriday be with you, today and every day.
