A pier on Loggerhead Key, seen from the island's lighthouse

"On Loggerhead Key we met this older couple that was from the eastern coast. They volunteer for the National Park Service, and they get one month on this lighthouse. They have a list of chores that the National Park Service assigns them. We walked up from the beach, and they were working in their garden. They opened the door and let us walk up the lighthouse."

—Photographer Tim Calver
