Point Bonita Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

Here she is doing her job keeping the rocks lit with the original beacon
still running after all these years.

We scheduled the full moon tour of the Point Bonita Lighthouse only to find
out that the suspension bridge over to the lighthouse has been condemned and
as you can see, there was any seeing the moon due to the fog. I set the
camera up for a long exposure and watched as the wave pounded the natural
arch below the lighthouse. The constant salt air and spray, some of which
you can see on the lens, really takes its toll on the lighthouse and bridge.
Even the rocks are being slowly eroded away by the pounding sea. The
volunteer giving the tour had been doing so before the bridge was built.
The land underneath used to be a foot path over to the lighthouse. As you
can see, that would be a bit precarious walk now and thus is why the
suspension bridge was built. As with many of California Lighthouse, this
one is also in need of some repairs. Hopefully donations and state funding
will keep these wonderful treasures of history functional. At least until
the rock under the lighthouse is pounded away.
