21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Point Sur Lighthouse
Constructed in the late 1800s, life on Point Sur was very lonely and isolated. Trips to Monterey were rare since the trail was long and treacherous. The keepers would receive goods and bulk supplies on a lighthouse tender boat roughly every four months. This image of the Lighthouse perched on the hillside, just peeking around the bend exemplifies the setting of isolation and expanse.
