Point Pinos Lighthouse

Tuesday, December 11, 2007


I am working in Monterey this week and took some time last night to go out and take a few shots. I will be sharing some of them over the next few days.


This shot is of the Point Pinos Lighthouse in Pacific Grove. Point Pinos is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast. Since February 1, 1855, its beacon has flashed nightly as a guide and warning to shipping off the rocky California coast.

I like the dusky shot. It makes the photo have a soft feeling to it. Good composition.

Lighthouses are so fascinating. I think there is a lighthouse in Montara that you can stay overnight in. I never knew about this place in Pacific Grove. Gotta check it out the next time I'm in that area.
