Cape Egmont Lighthouse,
North Island, New Zealand
With
Mount Taranaki’s regal peak looming in the background, the location of New
Zealand’s Cape Egmont Lighthouse is as spectacular as they come. The lighthouse
itself is pretty as a picture, too. Built in London in the mid-1800s, the
pieces were shipped to Mana Island, north of Wellington, in 1865 where the
lighthouse stood until 1881, when it was moved to its present location at Cape
Egmont. With its traditional white conical tower and bright red door, the
lighthouse stands out against the rugged countryside in this atmospheric shot.
