USA Chatham Lighthouse, Chatham, MA
Very picturesque and lighthouse, owned by the coast guard. It is fenced in, but you can easily shoot over the fence. In contrast to many other lights, it is well lit making for less contrast of the light and its surrounding. This is a dual-beam light, which is blocked off in the back.
Photography Tips
Shoot for the highlights and pull out the shadows. If you want to know how to do that multi-beam light shot, follow my blog: http://goo.gl/y2DSio
There is a nice beach right on the other side of the parking lot, the lighthouse sweeps across it for some foreground illumination.
