Kilauea Lighthouse
The Kilauea lighthouse is one of my favorite spots on Kauai. The northernmost point in Hawaii, the lighthouse was built in 1913 but hasn't been used as a lighthouse since the 1970s. Today it is best know for its spectacular views and the many birds who live on its protected shores. Occasionally you can even see a monk seal haul itself out of the ocean to take a rest.

The Hawaii is one wonderful place to be :-)
Today, the Kileau Point and the lighthouse is part of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge.

Wonderful image. You've made the lighthouse look almost jewel-like against the neutral gray sky. I especially like the little patch of blue in the upper-right corner.
