A leaning lighthouse tower rises above a flat, snow-covered field, and the tilt is the first thing the eye catches. Towers like this one often lean because their foundations have shifted over decades, whether from soft ground, erosion or the weight of the structure itself, and photographers of the era were drawn to such odd silhouettes against open landscape. The black and white rendering strips away color and leaves the contrast between the dark stone or brick and the pale snow, which makes the lean look even more pronounced. Worth noticing is how little else is in the frame, so the tower alone carries the composition.
