About the artwork

The picture shows the red and white striped lighthouse on the island of Amrum, embedded in a typical dune landscape with sandy ground and green tufts of grass. The lighthouse stands in the centre of the picture and stands out clearly against the cloudy sky, whose grey clouds lend the motif an atmospheric depth. The structure of the tower is clearly recognisable, with its surrounding balcony and lantern, which characterises it as a functional structure for navigation in the North Sea. The natural elements of the coastal vegetation are visible in the foreground, emphasising the maritime environment.

The composition is vertically orientated and uses the contrasts between sky, building and landscape for visual structure. The image is suitable for themes such as coastal architecture, maritime orientation, North Sea islands, landscape photography, tourism, navigation, heritage conservation and regional identity. It can be used in digital media, exhibitions or as a decorative element in living and working spaces.

The image quality is high, with sharp contours and balanced exposure. The reduced colour palette of red, white, grey and green supports the factual presentation and makes the motif versatile. The scene conveys an authentic image of the North Sea coast and appeals to viewers who are interested in maritime motifs and visual clarity.
