Cape Sada Lighthouse

In August of 2022, when it was super hot and super humid in Japan, I left the island of Kyushu and travelled to the island of Shikoku.

They are next to one another.

This was my summer holiday painting trip and I was very excited.

I was staying on the island of Shikoku for several days and I would be traveling around the prefecture of Ehime.

The big highlight of the trip though would be the lighthouse that is situated at the end of a long narrow peninsula.

It is the narrowest peninsula in Japan.

The beginning of my trip was as exciting as I could have hoped.

The ferry ride over was amazing.

It was windy and as I arrived in Shikoku I got a very dramatic view of the lighthouse itself.

Then the drive along the peninsula was an adventure all in itself.

Although the lighthouse was not quite as amazing as I hoped, I was able to get some great shots of it.

I also used my drone.

And later at home, with a lot of creativity, I produced some paintings of the lighthouse that I am really happy with.
