Cristy's Comments

My step-grandfather enjoyed collecting anything which depicted lighthouses. I have fond memories as a child playing with his collection.

Not to mention, anytime I visit a new place with a lighthouse that is open to the public, I enjoy the spiral ascent for a 360 view. One of my favorite lighthouses to visit was the St. Augustine Lighthouse, which has an interesting ghost story. 

Symbolically, lighthouses do have a spiritual significance. Photographer John Lund describes it beautifully on his website:

Lighthouses are rich with symbolism and conceptual meanings.

In this lighthouse photo a keeper stands at the lamp-house rail and watches the ocean as the storm clouds begin to clear in the twilight. The symbols here are many: The lighthouse illustrates concepts such as danger, risk, adversity, challenge and vigilance. But it also offers guidance, salvation and safety. The keeper at the rail indicates keeping a wary eye out and being alert, while the warmly glowing lamp reminds us that security and home are well within reach. Lighthouses symbolize the way forward and help in navigating our way through rough waters whether those waters be financial, personal, business or spiritual in nature. Nothing else speaks of safety and security in the face of adversity and challenge quite the way a lighthouse does.
