FEATURED IN HAPPY HAVEN
Makapu’u Lighthouse is in Waimanalo and was established in 1909 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. It is still in operation today, owned by the coast guard and not open to the public. The trail is an easy gradual climb 1.4 miles long and is best done in the early part of the day which makes for some spectacular sunrise views

Paul Woloschuk
A great shot Cheryl.
The composition of this image is excellent – a strong diagonal, together with powerful colours (you couldn’t have asked for a better focal point than the red roof of the lighthouse) and a very nice lead-in for the eye from the white fence.
Perfect! :-)
