I think Ueli likes the ocean breeze. What do you think? ? #lighthouse #newenglandscenes #fortpickeringlight ••• This is Fort Pickering Light, also know as Winter Island Light located near Salem, Massachusetts. It was built in 1871. It’s not very far from us, but for some reason we never paid a visit until today. I really love how New England is full of destinations — even after living here for many years, there’s still so much to see.

  • Winter Island is a popular destination for boating, with camping sites for tents and RVs
