I have seen this lighthouse structure on top of Fort Rodman many times but I dont think I have taken a shot of it like this before, the colors and light in the sky worked well for this shot, well at least I think so.
I was curious about a lighthouse being on top of the fort and did some research, back around 1804 a standard lighthouse stood at this point which is Clarks Point, but now more often called Fort Tabor Park

in the 1840s, the construction of Fort Rodman began, As the seven-sided, granite fort grew it began to block the lighthouse’s beam, necessitating the relocation of the lantern room and keepers quarters to the top of Fort Taber in 1869

The abandoned 1804 tower stood near the fort until it was demolished in 1906.
