A storm lantern in the dunes – sunset on the Baltic Sea beach

by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

An evening when no one is left on the beach. The sun hangs as a narrow disc
directly above the water, casting a golden trail all the way to the shore; the sky
transitions from orange through pink to a cool blue; and far out at sea, a
sailing boat lies at anchor. An old storm lantern burns in the dune grass, providing the
scene with its warm, tranquil focal point.

The photograph thrives on the interplay of two light sources: the cool, expansive light
of the evening sky and the small, warm glow of the paraffin lamp right in the
foreground. The low vantage point amongst the blades of grass draws the eye from the
lantern, across the bright sandy beach and out to the open sea, lending the image
depth.

As a wall hanging, this motif brings a sense of tranquillity and a holiday atmosphere into the room. The warm
shades of pink, orange and sand complement maritime, Scandinavian and modern
country-style interiors – in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, holiday homes,
seaside hotels, medical practices and wellness areas. On canvas, the
evening scene appears particularly soft, whilst on acrylic glass the sun and lantern
shine more brightly.

A gift for lovers of the Baltic Sea, coastal holidaymakers, sailors and anyone who has made the
sunset by the sea a regular ritual.
