CALIFORNIA - Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Pescadero

What a lovely surprise to received an envelope from postrcrosser Melissa.  It really makes my day! She sent these lovely lighthouse, old U.S. FDC of Yellowstone and some United Nations in New York city stamps.  Thank you so much Melissa.


The description on the back of the card:

"Pigeon Point Lighthouse open in 1872 and was considered a major landmark on the hazardous voyage between Monterey Bay and San Francisco.  Its 115-foot (35 m.) tower is one of the tallest on the Pacific Coast.  It is shown at the anniversary lightning of its original first order Fresnel lens, comprised of 1,008 prisms."
