Diamond Head Lighthouse, Hawaii, USA
Recognize this quaint little lighthouse? Diamond
Head Lighthouse in Oahu, Hawaii was memorialized on a US postage stamp in 2007.
Sitting on the southwestern edge of Diamond Head, a 3,520-foot (1,073m) wide
crater formed by a volcanic eruption 300,000 years ago, the lighthouse has
stood guard over the coast since 1899, when it was built following two
shipwrecks.
