Description
Castle Hill Lighthouse just before twilight, Newport, Rhode Island, taken in late summer early autumn, just after Labor Day. It is my personal favorite and most photographed lighthouse, perhaps because it's short like me (I'm 4'11" - it is taller, but not so tall by lighthouse standards). Others share my love for this little lighthouse as it is one of my most popular pictures, both with buyers here and as a featured image in magazines, books and calendars.
It was featured first featured in the Croton Fine Arts Council 2011 exhibit Photographers of Northern Westchester. This photo was also licensed as the July image in the New England Places 2014 Wall Calendar by BrownTrout Publishers. It is among several images I've licensed for that calendar as well as their Majesty of New England Calendar, New England Lighthouses Calendar, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island (another Newport lighthouse and the Newport Cliff Walk on the 2017 cover, a sunset beach in 2018), Serenity, and many others.
Travel books featuring this photograph include various editions of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide to New England on both the frontispiece and as a full page in the Rhode Island section.
You can find many other views of this light house and others from Newport and Point Judith in Rhode Island, along with many more from as far away as Sweden and Iceland, in my Lighthouse Collection. This particular sunset shot, which hangs in my dining room, has brought me years of pleasure. I hope that a print does the same for you!

Lovely! I recognized it immediately as one of your most beautiful lighthouse shots!
Marianne Campolongo replied:
Thanks so much Barbie and really appreciate the feature in Over 3000 Views. One of my first to get that high. It really makes me feel good when people remember my work the way you do. Thanks so much!
