A close-up view of the lantern room and its attached black-painted balcony seen from beneath. The lantern room appears to be towering above the viewer, and the details on the lantern room's green (copper?) roof are easily visible. For instance, the room can be seen to have lion or gargoyle figureheads at each of the room's 10 corners, and above each window is a cut-out pattern in the roof's edging of what look to be waves heading towards each other with the cutouts themselves appearing to be horns. A black ladder climbs to the top of the copper roof, reading the large dome on top. The white, black, and green building contrast beautifully with the dark blue sky. The lighthouse is in Cabrillo National Monument near San Diego, CA. I have another version of this same view that is less cropped, if you want.
