Lantern Room

Looking up into the Lantern Room of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, in San Diego, CA. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1891, but has remained a popular sightseeing destination, and is now part of the Cabrillo National Monument. Imagine climbing up through the lighthouse tower every night, lighting this beautiful lamp, and helping ships safely navigate their way along your shoreline.

The 1st piece in my "Maritime" series, taking a brief look at the structures we humans build to interact with the sea, whether from dry land, at water's edge, or on the open ocean.
