Hello everyone!

Here is my entry for the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge (North American Friday week #52) created by @czechglobalhosts.

This photo features a view of Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge. I took it last year in Kauai, Hawaii.

The Kilauea Lighthouse is a century-old lighthouse that stands at the edge of Kīlauea Point, 55 metres above the ocean. It was recently restored.

Established in 1985, the goal of the Kilauea Wildlife refuge is to preserve and enhance seabird nesting colonies. Many species of birds co-exist in the area, including laysan albatrosses, red-footed boobies, red-tailed and white-tailed tropicbirds, great frigatebirds, and migratory shorebirds such as the kōlea. A small population of endangered nēnē were reintroduced on the refuge in the 1990s.

Visitors can also observe marine mammals and reptiles there...

Hawaii is one of my favorite places in the world. The people are very welcoming (especially in Kauai) and the weather is usually ideal.

I visited Maui in 2014 and will be in Big Island in a few months. I can't wait!

EXIF data:

Nikon D600, Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 90mm
Exposure: ISO 250, f/10, 1/320s

This is also my entry to the MONOMAD contest created by @brumest.
