Mrs. Earl Hallmark donated land for the park, and in 1949 the club built a concrete Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse, an accurate replica that many visitors believe to be the actual Trinidad Head Lighthouse. The historic Fresnel lens was installed in the lighthouse’s lantern room, and the fog bell was suspended from a wooden frame built adjacent to the lighthouse.

I took my camera along to shoot a few pictures and this sign caught my eye.

When it was built in 1913, it had the largest clamshell lens in existance and was used until the mid ’70s when it was replaced by a bacon.

The weather in typical Kauai fashion changed constantly. The locals say “if you don’t like the weather now, just wait five minutes.” I liked the different shades of gray in the mountains in this photograph and the green highlights in the inbetween.

As I watched and photographed the swan, these fish started circling the swan and I thought it made for a comical photo.

This picture ended up being one of my favorite from the whole trip, so I thought I would share it with you.
