USA Stars & Lights

Book excerpt: United States Lighthouse Society photographer David Zapatka travels to 17 states capturing historic beacons from when they have always been meant to be seen: at night, under glorious star-filled skies. Follow David on his journeys as he recounts the perils of visiting unfamiliar locations deep into the night: marvel at the wonderful historic architecture of our nation's lighthouses; and learn the fascinating history of more than 160 beautiful towers.This followup to Stars & Lights: Darkest of Dark Nights, is David's second photography coffee table book, and is a perfect compliment as he presents dozens of unique lighthouse images never before published. Now a collaboration with the United States Lighthouse Society, the photographs are presented as individual portraits followed by tales of nighttime adventures.
