Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Coast.
At 115 feet tall, it's the tallest lighthouse on the American West Coast ( tied for that distinction with Pigeon Point Lighthouse )
It was built by a company which specialized in smokestack construction, which is why it kind of looks like one.
This lighthouse has been undergoing major restoration in recent years. It looks better now than ever.
I used a kite ( G-Kites Dopero ) to fly the camera.
Point Wilson Lighthouse, Port Townsend Washington.
At fifty feet tall, the Point Wilson Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the Puget Sound. It has been an aid to maritime navigation since its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit 101 years ago in 1913.
I used a kite to fly the camera. The kite I used was my well-worn Levitation Light 9' Delta, modified for higher winds with a shortened ( 40" ) spreader spar.
This facing point complete with a padlocked locking bar is at the seaward station of the Southend Pier Railway.
