About this image
Pigeon Point Lighthouse near Pescadero - A long exposure at sunset captures the flowing waves of the Pacific Ocean and foreground colors of the cliffs covered in hottentot fig plants.
Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872. Its five-wick lard oil lamp, and first-order Fresnel lens, comprised of 1,008 prisms, was first lit at sunset, November 15, 1872. The lens stands 16 feet tall, 6 feet in diameter, and weighs 2,000 pounds. It sits in a lantern room that had been constructed at the Lighthouse Service's general depot in New York before being shipped around the Horn.

What my clients say
Excellent service and a variety of materials. Varying prices, tailored to different needs. Overall, good taste. Extensive experience in this sector.
I saw a beautiful picture of a lotus that would look perfect in our home, however the larger size that I needed wasn't an option for purchase. I reached out to Adam and he was quick to reply and happy to provide me with the 48 x 48 dimensions that I needed. The large canvas was shipped and arrived in perfect condition. I love it and this will bring us a lot of happiness seeing this beautiful picture placed behind our buddha fountain. We are very happy and Adam was very kind and responsive with providing me with delivery dates too.
Fantastic quality and even better customer service!!
Thank you, Adam.
