this is something you wouldn't see, even if you went down to the coast. this is the old lighthouse in gulfport. it was destroyed in hurricane camille in 1969. i remember taking this picture. we had just stopped at a mall and i had gotten a new doc savage book and we were headed back home after a visit. dad wanted to check something real quick with the car, i took this shoot and we were on our way. note the large house in the background. every one of the big, beautiful coast homes were wiped out by that storm.
update and correction to this post: i thought the light house had been destroyed in the storm; however i was mistaken in my memory. seems the Biloxi lighthouse stands tall through the years. my mistake!
