Twitter is still a viable form of social media for marketing our landscape and seascape photography. Being a “Verified” tweeter gives this account a bit of extra credibility. Perception and a positive image are beneficial to any sales endeavor. If you also use Twitter please go ahead and click on over there to give this Twitter account a follow.

Sure, there have been a raft of social media memes about how badly the new ownership is doing but I do not believe it is going to fly away any time soon. Twitter had a lot of “problems” that had been ignored for a long time – mainly fake accounts, run by bots, that spread like wildfire. I do believe that problem is being addressed because we are seeing fewer “bogus” advertisements every day.

In conclusion, verified twitter accounts can be a great way to increase your credibility as an influencer and ultimately boost your brand. They help establish trust with potential customers and followers, so it’s worth taking the time to get verified. Additionally, having a verified account can provide benefits such as access to Twitter analytics and special offers from Twitter itself. With all these advantages, it’s easy to see why many people are choosing to get their accounts verified on Twitter. We did.

Fenwick Island Lighthouse Historic Panorama

Here is a “colorized” image from more than a century ago.

Built in 1858, the Fenwick Island Lighthouse stands as a beacon of history for the small towns of Fenwick Island, Delaware and Ocean City, Maryland.

Looking way back, this panorama photograph of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse in coastal Delaware was created and colorized from an 1891 faded black and white image downloaded from the United States National Archive website.

The Fenwick Island Lighthouse Station has been aiding navigation for mariners since August 1, 1859. Today, the historic structure is a popular tourist destination, especially for photography enthusiasts. The “Fenwick Light” is an historic landmark located in southernmost Delaware right at the border with Ocean City, Maryland.

Oldest Lighthouse in Delaware

A quote from the website: “The official opening of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse, when the light was first lit as an aid to navigation, was on August 1, 1859.” That makes the Fenwick Island Light the oldest lighthouse in Delaware.
