A stone keeper's house stands beside the tower on a bare outcrop of rock, its walls and tower rendered in the stark contrasts of black and white film. Lighthouses like this one were once manned around the clock, and the keeper's dwelling was as much a part of the station as the lamp itself, since the keeper and family had to live on site to tend the light and sound the fog signal in bad weather. Shots of such stations often emphasize their isolation, with the sea and sky doing most of the work, which is worth noticing here as the building's solid masonry anchors the composition against the open water.
