Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse
Score4.2Classic red-and-white pierhead lighthouse on Lake Ontario offering strong compositions of architecture against vast water and sky. Shoot from the adjacent concrete pier for leading lines, or from the river mouth for reflections. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side light; blue hour yields moody long exposures. Accessible on foot along the pier (watch slippery surfaces); public parking nearby on Oswego waterfront. No entry inside; check weather for waves or ice that add drama.
