A 115-foot white tower on a headland of California's San Mateo coast, lit on 15 November 1872. The name comes from the clipper ship Carrier Pigeon, lost on the offshore rocks in 1853, one of several wrecks along this stretch that prompted the U.S. Lighthouse Board to mark the coast. The original first-order Fresnel lens, lit by a five-wick lard-oil lamp, sent a beam roughly twenty-four miles out to sea. The lens was retired in 2008 and a modern LED beacon now turns above the dome. The grounds are a California State Historic Park, free and open every day. A youth hostel still operates in the keepers' quarters.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
