The answer to last week's trivia question: The black paint was added to Pensacola Lighthouse in 1869! 🖤🤍

Originally, our tower was painted completely white, which sounds sensible until you picture a cloudy Gulf Coast sky. White-on-gray meant the tower could blend in when mariners needed it most.

During the 1869 upgrades, the solution was simple: keep the lower third white so it pops against the dark line of nearby trees, and paint the upper two-thirds black so it stands bold against the sky. High contrast, high visibility, and fewer squints from the water.

Some assume that its drier in the south in the summer due to the intense heat, but actually the winter months are harsher on the Gulf Coast.

Ephemeral pools are natural formed basins. Visitors will see these on the Mississippi barrier islands and Santa Rosa Island in Florida. These pools collect rainwater and sediment, forming tiny ecosystems with a collection of plants and animals adapted to life in the desert. The pools range from a few millimeters to deep and may harbor microscopic invertebrates.

Ephemeral means fleeting – these pools only last a short while before drying up or changing.

Visitors should avoid walking through or swimming in pools.
