Old Point Loma Lighthouse
This lighthouse is located inside the Cabrillo Monument National Park. It was used as a beacon for ships and as a home to the keepers for 36 years staring in 1855. At 422 feet above sea level, sometimes fog and clouds obscured the light, so a new lighthouse was built further down the hill and closer to the water. There was a wedding taking place when I visited and if you enlarge the photo you can see the bride's veil afloat in the wind and the (other) photographer getting shots of the wedding party. Happy 3rd Birthday to Simon!

very nice! and happy birthday to little Simon too!
wow, I like that place but have never heard about what Stu "El Inglés" Harris mentioned...but it's a nice photo anyhow. have fun with little simon ;-)
Felicia, this photo is especially lovely, and meaningful to me in that my father's ashes were spread at sea within sight of this light house. He saw it many times as he sailed in and out of the area in his Navy days. Stu's comments are pretty sobering. SD and so many of the CA coastal areas are saturated with military equipment and operations that we know little about.
Happy third B-Day to the fine young gentleman. May your birthday wish come true!

Nice picture. A lighthouse seems a sensible and cautious setting for the start of a marriage... :)
