Sea of Love

Pigeon Point Lighthouse near Pescadero, CA about 30 miles north of Santa Cruz and an hour south of San Francisco bay... The flowers in this impression were captured in April when the coastal spring wildflowers on the south side of the point are in full bloom...

It was built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse on the west coast of the United States, and is still an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Lighthouse is easily one of the most picturesque lighthouses on the Pacific coast. the 115-foot (35 m), white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure and stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching San Francisco Bay from the south. This headland, and hence the lighthouse, took its name from the ship, USS Carrier Pigeon, that wrecked here in 1853.
