Point Arena Lighthouse

The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.

 

There has been a lighthouse here since 1870. This particular lighthouse was built in 1908, replacing the original tower which had been damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

 

This new reinforced concrete lighthouse was built by a construction company specializing in industrial smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.

 

I used a KITE to fly the camera.
