Pigeon Point Lighthouse ~ 50 miles south of San Francisco, near the small town of Pescadero, this lighthouse has been warning mariners since 1872. The tower is 115 feet high, one of the tallest lighthouses on the West Coast. The fog muted the colors of this beautiful spot.
~ Built in 1890, on the foggiest and windiest area in California, on a cliff close down by the water, to be visible to seamen navigating through the fog and along the coast in a rough storm. It is in Marin County, north of San Francisco. To reach the lighthouse, one must climb a steep descent down 315 steps (and back up!). Judith Sparhawk
Trinidad Memorial Light ~ In Trinidad, California, built in 1949, in memory of sailors lost at sea.
