Editor’s Note: Marc Williams noticed our article on the Amelia Island Lighthouse going dark (click here), and sent us this great photo he took of the lighthouse’s Fresnel Lens during one of Scott Moore’s Photo Walks. He recognized the lens is a true “work of art.” Thanks Marc for your timely contribution.

Yes, the correct spelling is FRESNEL. I know because in theatre we often used Fresnel lights, which gave a soft edge.
Lovely!
