A very very bright lighthouse

Today we headed to beautiful Santa Cruz, located at the California coast across the hill from the Silicon Valley. Sunset was at 255° WSW, so we went to the Twin Lakes State Beach to get a direct line of sight with the Walton Lighthouse.
I processed a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: The truth is unlike other parts of South Africa, Durban never really experiences winter and it’s often why it’s dubbed “South Africa’s playground”. It’s almost always sunny in Durban and the warm current keeps the land warm so the lowest our temperatures drops to is about approximately 18° Celsius (64° Fahrenheit). Local people, of course, believe even this drop is too much to bear and they stay at home covered in blankets.
