Photography Tips
Wait until the orange light after sunset and place the lighthouse in the middle of the stratovolcano. It gives you a creative perspective.
If you want to get the lighthouse and the mountain next to each other you just need to go some meters to your left. Use the high shutter if you want to have the flashlight of the lighthouse in your picture.
