Cape Point Lighthouse
The Cape Point Light at Cape of Good Hope in Constantia, South Africa. This lighthouse was built too high above sea level and was often obscured by fog; it was discontinued and replaced by a new lighthouse at a lower elevation. A walking trail goes near both the old and new lighthouses.
