Photo: Lighthouse Beacon Castlepoint New Zealand

The beacon atop the Castlepoint Lighthouse in Wairarapa on the North Island of New Zealand continues to flash automatically across the waters to aid vessels to safety if needed.

The beacon that filters across the water from the Castlepoint Lighthouse on the coast of the North Island of New Zealand can be seen by vessels for twenty-six nautical miles. A lighthouse keeper tended to the beacon up until 1988 and it was then decided that the beacon would become automated and a lighthouse keeper was no longer needed. In the backdrop, a beautiful sunset illuminates the cloudless sky bringing in hopes of a fairly calm night on the water.Sunset at Castlepoint Lighthouse which overlooks the lagoon and bay, Castlepoint, Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand.
