Today I wanted to take a break from the black and white photos. This image is a composit of a lighthouse I photographed several years ago. It was my first excursion into photography with lens larger than 35 mm. I created the background and storm clouds by manipulating other photos in my archive.
I wanted to give you feeling of the powerful light driving back the darkness. Everyone at some point feels lost in the storm. We need a beacon of hope to bring us into shore. I can see the inside of the little cabin at the base of the lighthouse in my mind’s eye. A kindly old caretaker stokes a warm fire and offers a blanket to a young refugee who barely made it to shore. The younger person is soaked to the bone from the winter storm. As they sit together and enjoy a hardy meal the Atlantic Ocean rages outside. Waves crash against the stoney shore in vain as if Neptune himself was frustrated with the young person’s escape from the darkness. They are safe and secure within the refuge of the lighthouse.

I love the ending …. the whole scene is flashing like a movie in my mind . Btw what does Neptune representing here 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Neptune doesn’t really represent anything. It was just the first sea storm related thing that came to mind.

No. I’m familiar with mythology of several cultures and use them as archetypes. I’m currently working on a science fiction story that centers on alien conspiracy theories and ties them together as an adventure.

Thank you! I hope to escape from the corporate world soon and share more daydreams. There is a little seed for another part of the story but it hasn’t germinated yet.
