Somehow, the Cape May Light is a bit like a Cape May sunset -- I never tire of taking its picture. Despite how constant it seems, flashing away night after night for more than 150 years, even the lighthouse changes over time. This is the third incarnation of the Cape May Light; the first two were lost to coastal erosion. And a few years ago, when repairing the motor that powers the light's super-bright 1000 watt beam, the technicians somehow changed the direction of the beam's rotation, which is now counterclockwise instead of clockwise. Cape Mayers soon noticed the change!
