Can you tell if the lighthouse still has a red band? It appears darker in the photo.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
DeleteI went to the website I included in the post and saw some photos of the lighthouse. It does look like the band is a somewhat darker brownish red color like this photo. I guess the postcard isn't an exact likeness of the lighthouse. Or who knows, maybe that's how it looked way back when the postcard was published. =)
