Mount

A volcanic sea-stack rising 361 feet from the surf, joined to the Big Sur coast by a low sand isthmus that the tide nearly covers. Point Sur Light Station took its first watch on August 1, 1889, lighting a stretch of California coast that had taken three ships in a single year. The keepers' quarters, the blacksmith's shop, and the small stone barn still stand at the top of the trail; the original Fresnel lens is now in the museum down in Monterey. Access is by guided tour only, three hours on foot, in whatever weather the cape sends.

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