Bodie Island, North Carolina, USA

Completed in 1872, Bodie Island Light, one of many along the 'Outer Banks' of North Carolina, now serves as both light station (automated) and tourist attraction (soon to be climbable). Its unique banding also made it a day marker for offshore vessels, preventing confusion with other nearby light towers (especially its world-famous brother). [2006]
