White against the weather

This image is a powerful study in contrast and solitude, featuring a white lighthouse standing tall on a grassy hill beneath a sky thick with dark, moody clouds. The lighthouse is positioned to the right, its cylindrical structure and lantern room sharply defined against the turbulent backdrop.

The clouds are layered in deep Bluey-grey tones, suggesting an approaching storm or the lingering weight of one just passed. The dramatic sky dominates the frame, amplifying the sense of isolation and resilience.

The foreground grass is a mix of brown and green, hinting at seasonal transition—perhaps late summer tipping into autumn. The hill adds elevation and depth, reinforcing the lighthouse’s role as a watchful guardian.

The lighthouse’s bright white exterior stands in stark relief against the gloom, symbolising clarity, guidance, and endurance.Its placement and scale give it a quiet authority, like a lone figure braving the elements.
