Two boys stand at the edge of a highway, turned toward a lighthouse, an unexpected sight away from any shoreline where people usually expect to find one. Lighthouses were built to guide ships, so one standing beside a road suggests either a relocated tower or a lighthouse-shaped landmark, both of which were common roadside attractions as automobile travel spread through the 20th century. The photograph invites viewers to consider how a working navigational symbol could become a point of curiosity for travelers and children.
