One of my favorite vintage post cards to collect are light houses. This one is of the Tarrytown Lighthouse, Tarrytown on Hudson New York
It was postmarked May 31 1913 and mailed to Mrs M A Beal of Minneapolis. It is from a friend Inez.
Inez talks about taking in the sights, hob nobbing with the Rockefeller's and that tomorrow is Decoration day and the unveiling of the Maine Memorial in Central Park. http://www.centralparknyc.org/site/PageServer?pagename=virtualpark_southend_mainemonument

On my last trip to the Gaspesie in northern Quebec my husband and i really enjoyed visiting all the lighthouses along the coast. It was fascinating to imagine what it must have felt like - especially in the last century - to live in such an isolated spot.

I love vintage postcards of light houses, I agree it must of been such an isolated spot to work and live
