SmugMug > all-time keyword > photography > The tower has been closed to tours since December 2001 because of collapse of brickwork supporting outside access walkways on the top of the structure. The California State Park system has promised repairs, but it is estimated that even if funds were available, it would be seven to ten years before the repairs would be completed.

SmugMug > all-time keyword > photography > Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. 

The lighthouse, took its name from the ship Carrier Pigeon that wrecked here in 1853.

The lantern room of the tower is equipped with the original first-order Fresnel lens. Illuminated for demonstration purposes only today, the lens has 24 flash panels, is composed of 1008 hand-polished lenses and prisms and is capable of producing over 500,000 candlepower illumination. It was manufactured by the Henry-LePaute company in Paris, France and was first lit at Pigeon Point at sunset on November 15, 1872.

Normally HDR photos (the previous 2) are done when you've got some harsh lighting; in this case the lighting was pretty good but I wanted to try to bring out the awesome details in the cart. This is the non-HDR version, just for reference.
