Tacking Point Lighthouse


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Tacking Point Lighthouse
Tacking Point Lighthouse
just south of Port Macquarie.
Captured last October, and thanks Brett for taking me up the mountain to this hidden lookout. There is nothing like a bit of local knowledge!

Captured at 1/100th f16.0 and ISO-100.
