Perspectives: Price's Creek Lighthouse

This is Price's Creek Lighthouse.  It's on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Southport, North Carolina.  It's hard to see - this image is taken from a ferry that goes to Bald Head Island.  It's nothing much to speak of as far as magnificent lighthouses go, but it still sits there, a testament to what it used to do.  It's a little sad, and a little inspiring.

And it would be easy to miss.  What do we miss?
