A lighthouse holds its position while waves crash hard against its base, with spray climbing high enough to hide the lower walls. Scenes like this show why so many coastal towers were built: to warn ships away from rocks and shoals in weather that could turn a voyage deadly. Keepers who tended these lights often endured the same storms, keeping lamps burning and machinery running through long, rough nights. The contrast between the fixed tower and the churning water around it is the detail worth studying here.
