Cave Trails and Lighthouses.

A cave that you have to crawl into gave this wonderful frame facing West. There are two lighthouses in the frame. One operational and one abandoned. Took the foreground shot in the blue hour even as the lights of the lighthouse were powering on. Left the camera gear in the crawl space and headed out for other shoots, all the while apprehensive that the camera may be knocked down by the scores of pigeons flying in and out of the tiny cave. Fortunately the regions were sensible enough not to disturb my set up. Went back after astronomical twilight ended, to set up the trails shoot. Noticed that the horizon was lit up with the powerful LED lights of the fishing trawlers, and added a nice green hue.Let the shoot continue till the battery ran out of juice.
