2003 Pentax 67II

Point Arena Lighthouse 2003

The first lighthouse at this site was constructed in 1870. In April 1906, a devastating earthquake struck the light station. The keeper's residence and lighthouse were damaged so severely they had to be demolished. The new lighthouse began operation in 1908. The original 1908 1st Order Fresnel lens was removed from the Tower in 2008, but was turned off in 1978 when the lighthouse became automated. At the time this photo was taken in 2003 it was turned on for a commemorating event.

This is a great shot! I was hoping to get something like this, but we did not have those conditions while we were there.
