Towering Inferno

For a long time I have wanted to photograph the lighthouse down at Cabrillo National Monument... but the park closes at 5pm so there is only a small window of opportunity in December when the sun sets at 4:30.

 

On my first ever visit, I was lucky enough to have the sky explode with color, and this is one of the shots from that evening.

 

This is the original Point Loma Lighthouse (or Old Point Loma Lighthouse), built in 1855 by the United States government after California's admission as a state. The lantern and lens were ordered from Paris, France.
