Lighthouse Pictures

Lighthouse Pictures

Lighthouse pictures are among the most iconic of symbolic imagery. Lighthouses stand for such positive concepts, from safety and guidance to vision, the way forward, and communications. But few pictures show a lighthouse in a storm at the moment a lightning bolt strikes the structure. In this scenic and dramatic lighthouse photo the foreground is filled with tossing waves as overhead dark storm clouds gather. In the distance a rain squall passes over the waves and rough seas. This becomes a picture of challenge and adversity as well as the promise of refuge, safety and security.

Lighthouses In Storms

Lighthouses are at their best in storms and this photo shows a beautiful lighthouse projecting its beam out over tossing seas as a lightning bolt slams into the top of the building. The beam sweeps out over the sea pointing the way to safety and security. Lights glow from the window of the keeper's residence, a further indication of the warmth and security still possible in a raging tempest.

Lighthouses As Symbols Of Challenge, Vision And Opportunity

Lighthouses are not just symbols of challenge, vision and opportunity, but also of vision and the way forward. Lighthouses are more than brick and mortar buildings, they are symbols of the Internet age where the threat of drowning under waves, even Tsunamis, of information and data is ever-present. Lighthouses are ingrained in our sub consciousness as symbols of good, heroic structures unyielding to the ravages of water and win, of typhoons and hurricanes and more. They warn us of dangers that lurk unseen in the dark waters and thick fog. This particular lighthouse photo can be easily cropped for vertical uses, horizontal formats and square needs. There is a plethora of copy space available. This lighthouse image can add visual impact to any presentation be it advertising, editorial or promotional. The image also makes a wonderful fine art print.
