Puerto Ferro lighthouse
Set on a high pitch of land (called Verdiales , for the family who maintained the light-
house for decades) that juts out into the water like the prow of a ship, the structure is prob-
ably best described as Spanish Colonial. Although stripped by the elements of its stucco
finish and tower, the base is handsomely rugged, all exposed brick walls, decaying pi-
lasters, and lashings of atmosphere.
Michael took a great photo from the base of the ruin towards the low, craggy, sea-grape-
covered cliffs below and the swelling sea beyond.
This shot, which has become the screensaver on my work computer, has helped me sur-
vive many a dreary winter afternoon.
