I have a lighthouse fetish, it's true.
Old, busted stone lighthouses that keepers used to keep,
living on little rock islands far from the mainland?
So sexy.

Big shiny metal ones don't really speak to me the same way,
but the "Tallest Lighthouse in the World"?
That's quiet the superlative when talking lighthouses.
Meryl and I took and elevator to the top of the Yokohama Marine Tower today,
and looked East at the Pacific Ocean.
(i know, so weird)




After hanging around the top floor of the lighthouse for a bit,
we ventured over to a different part of the city,
and then came back to see the waterfront at night.



And here's the lighthouse all lit up.



I like compound words that only get better when compounded.
Light-house.
Houses with big ass lights on top,
telling people at sea what's up.
I'm not sentimental about all things antiquated,
but the etymology of the word lighthouse leaves out anything tower related.

Observation decks?
Elevators?
You only get away with that if you're an "-est".
