Northern California

Sunset at Point Arena Lighthouse, which is cloaked in mist created by crashing waves, salt spray, and stormy weather. Point Arena Lighthouse is situated at the end of Point Arena peninsula on the rocky pacific coast of northern California. The original lighthouse was completed in 1870, but was later rebuilt with reinforced concrete after an earthquake in 1906 destroyed the original. Originally fitted with a first order Fresnel Lens (which can be seen in the museum), It was automated on 1977.
