Spiral Staircase Looking Downward, Point Loma Lighthouse, San Diego, California, June 3, 2024
Built in 1855 to overlook the harbor entrance to San Diego, the present-day Cabrillo National Monument Lighthouse is no longer in use. The spiral staircase seen here allowed access to the multi-story lighthouse, where the lighthouse keeper and his family lived.
The spiral staircase is a space-saving solution that has character, simplicity, and geometric precision. The staircase is not a so-called circular “chambered nautilus” spiral, but instead is a somewhat flattened configuration that makes it quite unusual. Shown here “warts and all'” with much wear in evidence, the staircase reveals its age of more than one hundred-seventy years.
This downward-looking view from the top of the staircase was taken with my Nikon D-850 using the 24-70mm f2.8E ED lens at 24-mm focal length.
Prints of this image, many other landscape photographs and other subjects of general interest are available for purchase at coloradoinblackandwhite.com.
