West Cape Lighthouse with Spica and Mars

Another one from Innes National Park, South Australia.

This lighthouse was built in 1980 and is constructed mainly of stainless steel. Standing 8.5 Meters high and at 67 Meters above sea level, it was quite a drop down from the steep cliffs it sits on.
The walk out to the lighthouse was longer than expected and at times, the walkway is near the edge of the cliff with no railing.
Single 30 sec image- 6D, 14mm Samyang at 2.8 and ISO 6400 .
It looks as if I have caught the reflections of Spica and Mars on the left side of the lighthouse
Thanks for looking.
Steve.

Thanks Paul. I almost never took it. I packed up and was walking past it to go when I looked up. I thought it would look nice.

Yep just straight drop 67 Mtrs down. One would have to something silly fall off the edge. Never the less it still runs through ones mind at 3am in the pitch black :/ the walk was longer than I expected. It was a top night for it. Thanks
