A white lighthouse rises above a stepped seawall while waves break against the stone in the foreground, and the sepia tone gives the scene the warm, faded look of an older photographic process. Lighthouses of this kind were built to guide ships past dangerous coastlines, and the sturdy tiered wall shows how keepers and engineers worked to protect the tower from the same surf pictured here. The sepia printing also points to a period when photographs were often toned for durability and a softer appearance. Look closely at the spray to see how the exposure froze the motion of the breaking water.
