Orient Point Lighthouse, Long Island, New York – image: 19.5 x 11.5
 
Nicknamed “Coffee Pot” by sailors, the Orient Point Lighthouse sits just off the northeastern tip of Long Island, keeping ships away from submerged rocks. Now unmanned and automated, it guides maritime traffic with a white flash every five seconds.
