The Walton Lighthouse

Located in Santa Cruz, California, Walton Lighthouse (named after one of its patrons, Charles Walton) was built in the Fall of 2001, which makes it the newest lighthouse in the Northern California part of the Coast.

For me, this lighthouse is more about the Seacliff Beach that it is located on than anything else. For that reason I wanted sand and waves to dominate the composition here.

Many people do not know that Oxnard, Port Heuneme has a lighthouse. The original light house looked like the San Luis Lighthouse located near San Luis Obispo.
