A Quick Visit to the Biloxi Lighthouse and the Fresnel Lens

Today we were driving by the Biloxi Lighthouse and it happened to be open so we decided to stop and have a bit of a visit!  Had a real enjoyable time. There were two very knowledgeable people working on site a gentleman at the entrance and a very attractive young woman at the top. We talked for awhile and I took a few quick images using the camera on my phone. Not great images, but they will give you an idea of the kind of moody, misty atmospheric morning that we were having. 
I had the chance to inspect the fresnel Lens up close. This was a real treat for me, being that I have had a life long interest in all manner of lighting devices and the fresnel Lens is one of the ultimate lamps!

A Visit to the New Biloxi, Mississippi Visitors center

This afternoon we went over to the new Biloxi, Mississippi visitors center to drop off some of our advertising cards for their big card display of things to do while visiting the area.  The new visitors center is surly a site to see in it's own rights.  A splendid over sized anti bellum style edifice that just reeks of southern hospitality.  Just look how nice a day it is. The weather is in the 70's and oh, so sunny.  Keep in mind that theses images were captured on Sunday, December 17th 2011.  If you're ever in the area stop on in and see what's happening in this area. Remember, it's easy to find just look for the old Biloxi lighthouse!
