If you would like to join this meme click on the Icon for the rules and get on Mr LinkyUmpqua Lighthouse:
I wanted to finish up with the light house from last weeks post, which is below this one. Do you see the handles outside the windows ? We were told that they had to go out and clean the windows daily, and with the high winds they would have to hang on to something or get blown off, and that is why they have these handles put on.
If you click on the photo you may be able to read what is posted here, also shows the photo of how they held on while cleaning the glass.

A job for someone other than me. Very interesting and yet again, beautiful photos!
Great shots. Now I want to find a light house to visit. I've seen them in the distance but have never been close to one.
Great shots! I would not want to clean those windows.
Maintenance is important really. How else will these be preserved for our future generations.
I have never been insdie the lighthouse here and now I want too. Fascinating.
very beautiful shots!!
Lilli: I don't know about that little cleaning job without a safety belt.
Very interesting and beautiful photos. I only wish I could be up there to see the view:)
Tank's for sharing:)
that was so interesting!
thanks for sharing this post...i recall we went here many, many years ago while on a family vacation.
enjoyed your post.
That is definitely not a job for me. I would be really scared hanging out there cleaning the glass. This is my first time at That's My World. I would like to introduce you to my town, Powell River, BC. -- Margy
Very cool. My hubby likes light houses.
Very nice final post on the lighthouse but I would not be cleaning those wondows!
Great shots, Lilli.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving, Lilli!
Thanks for the tour. I'm in love with Oregon and I've been to the lighthouses at Yaquina Bay and Yaquina Head, we passed the Umpqua lighthouse on our way upstate, but didn't stop there. So it's great to get to see it here :)
