The current Thomas Point light is arguably the most widely recognized lighthouse in Maryland and is the only screw-pile light on the Chesapeake Bay still in its original location.
I didn't recognize it however, because despite my many trips to Annapolis over the past 15 years, I didn't even know the lighthouse existed. I was strolling up the pier in the Annapolis Harbor when I saw a sign offering a boat ride to Thomas Point Shoal. It was a beautiful day, so I thought there's got to be a good photo when there's a lighthouse involved.
It was late in the afternoon when we sailed up to and around the lighthouse. I got a number of shots from every angle. I even got a backlit shot that I thought would never work. (Keep your expectations very low.)
We sailed under the Bay Bridge and past a new Navy submarine that had just been christened. A great day overall, and I got a couple images I really like. See the photos.
