Massachusetts - Bee Gees
Guest_

Massachusetts Bee Gees

Feel I'm going back to Massachusetts
Something's telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you

Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

I will remember Massachusetts...

麻薩諸塞州 比吉斯合唱團

感覺我正要回麻薩諸塞州
有些事情提醒我該回家去
麻薩諸塞州的燈全都熄滅了
在我丟下她一個人的那一天

想搭便車到舊金山
做些我想做的事
麻薩諸塞州的燈全都熄滅了
他們把我送回來,讓我看清楚與妳在一起的路

談起在麻薩諸塞州的生活
聊著曾經遇見過的人們
麻薩諸塞州的燈全都熄滅了
麻薩諸塞州是我曾經見過的一個地方

我會記得麻薩諸塞州

Yesterday Elinor asked me where the pic that modo posted is. I have no idea,either. But I know it is "Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse" now because I received a pm from Elinor and she told me it is"Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse".Thanks!!


The Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse is situated on the Cape Cod National Seashore near the town of Truro, Massachusetts. It is a working lighthouse situated on the Highland Golf Course. The grounds are open all year round whilst the light is open to the public from May until late October, with guided tours available if required.. It is owned by the National Park Service and cared for by the Highland Museum and Lighthouse Inc.,[1] on behalf of the United States Coast Guard who run the actual light.



**History**
In 1797, a station authorised by George Washington was established at this point on the Cape, with a light to warn shipping about the dangerous coastline between Cape Ann and Nantucket. In 1857 the lighthouse was declared dangerous and demolished and a new one constructed.[2]. Along with the lighthouse, there were a keepers’ building and a generator shed, both of which can still be seen today.

The new lighthouse was fitted with a first order Fresnel lens which was in turn replaced by a larger first order lens in 1901. In 1932 a the lamp was upgraded to a 1000 watt lamp. Later upgrades saw the lamp being replaced by two areobeacons, each containing a 1000 watt lamp and a back-up lamp, then in 1998 the areobeacons were replaced by 110 watt beacons. The lighthouse today, is not located where it was built, in 1990 it was in danger of falling down the cliff due to erosion so it was decided to move the whole structure 570 feet (175m) back from the cliff edge. The move was carried out by International Chimney Corp. of Buffalo NY and Expert House Movers of Maryland over a period of 18 days in July 1996.[3]
