Tour of Dixie

This Ride Report is a 3 week BMW motorcycle tour Barb & I rode a few years ago. Photos shot with a Canon A80 P&S.

Built in 1840 the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest Brick Lighthouse in America. There are two black and two white stripes on the Cape Hatteras lighthouse; each circles the tower 1.5 times; all are wider at the bottom than at the top.

Why is the tower leaning? It is not leaning significantly. There is a deceptive optical illusion at certain angles of view, caused by the stripes, and sometimes enhanced by a backdrop of moving clouds, or just maybe I not holding the camera level.

Hit F11 for Full Screen
