City - Kilauea State - HAWAII Country - United States
About
Kilauea Lighthouse is the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian Islands. Built in 1913, it was had the largest lens of it's kind and guided ships heading to and from the Orient. In the 1970's its light was turned off and this landmark was replaced by a low-maintenance light beacon. I included the flare to silhouette the light. Since it's also home to a nearby bird sanctuary and nesting site there are many opportunities to catch one flying overhead in the shot.
