Day 651, The Lighthouse

The historic Port Adelaide Lighthouse has an amazing history,

Prefabricated in England, installed in 1869 at the entrance to the Port River. Moved several times and served until 1985 on South Neptune Island overlooking the seals and the great whites.

In 1986 the Lighthouse was moved to its current location here as a tourist icon and is now lit at night with gaudy colored lighting. This image was captured in saturated red and blue lighting but I felt that black and white was needed to properly respect its heritage.
