Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, Oregon
"Terrible Tillie" is a nickname given long ago to this lighthouse.  It is no longer active, but is a columbarium.  (A place where peoples cremated remains may be stored.)  This is far offshore, but there are one or two areas, where you can see it, and shoot it with a long lens.  I think Bob took this shot at Ecola Beach State Park.  One of our bigger wishes is to get out closer in a boat, to photograph it closeup.  Never mind getting on.  We would be happy with a closer view.  We were out on that coast a few summers ago and couldn't find any transportation out, but summer of 2004, Bob was out there and got this second shot from a plane.
