222 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai, Hawaii
Perched on a rugged cliff at the northern tip of Kauai, the Kilauea Lighthouse has been guiding ships since 1913. Today it stands at the center of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, surrounded by steep volcanic cliffs, open ocean, and one of the most active seabird sanctuaries in Hawaii. It’s a place that feels far removed from the island’s busy beaches, especially in the early morning hours.
I visited this overlook on several mornings hoping to catch the right combination of light and clouds. At sunrise the cliffs and vegetation shift quickly in color, moving from deep shadow to warm, glowing tones as the sun clears the horizon. On this morning the light broke softly across the point, illuminating the lighthouse and the textured rock face below while the ocean remained calm and nearly empty.
The simplicity of the scene warm light, red cliffs, and the lighthouse standing alone against the Pacific captures the quiet beauty of Kilauea Point before the day fully begins.
