Point Loma, California, USA. Built in 1854-55, it marked the San Diego Harbor entrance, sited at the top Point Loma at an elevation of 400 feet, the highest of any lighthouse in the US. That height proved to be problematic, as fog would enshroud the light, leaving it not visible to ships. In 1891, it was replaced by a newer light, built at a lower elevation. Today, the lighthouse is a museum, restored to the appearance of when the first keeper and his family lived there.

I like your composition with the inclusion of the tree branch and foreground grass, Thad. Interesting fact about the elevation.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
You've captured the lighthouse at an angle I like Thad and the big fella to the left provides scale to the building.✔️

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Very nice, and nicely composed. I would love to see the inside of one some day. tigs=^..^=

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
If you can't see the light, then the lighthouse would definitely lose its effectiveness Thad.
It sure is beautiful when you can see it.
Excellent photo.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Really like the angle and the pine tree adds a lot to the scene - what a magnificent lighting out and the man on the left looks like he would have been a light keeper. Loving your CA travels

Good composition of the scene and a great shot of the lighthouse, Thad. Good clarity and lighting in the image.
