Description
The California Lighthouse is located near Arashi Beach, on the NW tip of Aruba. This lighthouse was named for the steamship California, which wrecked nearby on Sept 23, 1891. It was formerly open to the public until a suicide. The actual height is 98 feet (30 meters) but it is built on a hill, so the light is actually an additional 30 feet (9 meters) higher from sea level. It is not painted but left in its natural state. Some info from Wikipedia. Photo taken February 2002 and scanned.

Very nice photo. Great POV and lighting.
I can see why they'd want to close it to tours....
Many rely on the lighthouse my friend for to move. I always find these great lights in the hopes that people bring to them. Beautiful shot my friend. Great job and thanks again for sharing ((5 + +)) Beaucoup compte sur ce phare mon ami pour se diriger . Je trouve toujours ces phares grandiose dans l'espoir que les gens mettent pour eux . Belle prise de vue mon ami . Beau travail et mercis encore pour le partage ((5++))

A classic lighthouse! Excellent shot!
Splendid Capture Dana...Unfortunately it only takes one to cause a stir...Can imagine the view from the top!...
I like the natural look, super capture!!!
outstanding, fascinating image
A great capture of a very utilitarian lighthouse, Dana, what with little windows situated at, I assume, each stairwell. There was also the steamer, California, that, in April 1912, was the closest to the ill fated Titanic, and was the first to hear the distress radio signal from the liner, but chose to ignore it.
cool looking place
superb image
seems like some fool always has to ruin things for others, even to the point of taking their own life.very interesting subject and shot
~Super shot!~
