Description
The North Head lighthouse needs more than a good coat of paint, but restoration is scheduled to begin next year.
Many of the lighthouses on the Pacific Coast were built on a similar plan. You walk in the front door of the office and turn right to go through a short connecting hallway, whereupon you enter the lighthouse proper. This is the outside of that connecting section.
Anyone asking for the location of this lighthouse gets extra demerits. :P

Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Excellent capture!
Very cool capture Tara
Weathered is better in my eyes; it's much more real that way, I think. Beautiful capture!
Interesting place...love the textures....
a bit past its sell by date. well seen
Oh this is such a lovely shot I like everything about it ! Bravo !
I have said it a thousand times... opportunities like this pass many folks holding cameras by. Not an artist. Great image. :-)
I really like this shot alot. The warm colors, the window and the cracked concrete. But that modern water pipe doesnt fit in here :) Take it off ;-D
Wonderful capture! :)
The board on the wall tells me exactly where it is!! Nice shot Tara.
I wonder if we shall eventually see an 'after' photo?! It is beautiful like it is, though !
Nice textures, coloor and composition.
I'd love to do a "tour" of the lighthouses of the West Coast. I hit a couple on my drive home from Seattle (Which you will see later in my gallery). I like the perspective and composition you achieved.... No demerits for me please :)
A wonderful capture. It does need some restoration to keep it from eventually falling over.
I don't want to know where it is, they might ask me to come help paint it. Can you just imagine how much work it will take to restore it. Living in a lighthouse would not be cool. I lived next to a working lighthouse. The lighthouse keeper could only leave the lighthouse when the tide was low and the ocean wasn't being all like, "rawr, I'm gonna get you."
So, where is it??? LOL! That looks like it's going to be one heck of a restoration job - makes me tired just thinking about it! Still..... I've always thought it would be extremely cool to buy one of these, restore it, and live there. Just imagine the view - and the exercise you'd get. A great, detailed shot, Tara!
An excellent picture.
interesting and impressive corner you captured! I would like to have a sign with coordinates at my house also ;o)
Unbelievable what a winner photo, dear friend! I admire the warm colors again, all the textures and the mood. All is just perfect to make this a first class photo, Tara!
A fresh coat of paint & your fine photo would have been ruined. In a mass-produced world, the aesthetics of age & decay can be very appealing...
I'm sure glad you got this shot before they patched it all up..It has an old world charm to it..
