Step into the timeless beauty of Menorca with this striking black and white capture of the iconic Faro de Cavalleria. Perched majestically on rugged cliffs, this historic lighthouse stands as a solitary sentinel against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky.
The long, winding path draws the eye towards the lighthouse's distinctive striped tower, inviting contemplation and a sense of journey. The monochrome palette accentuates the textures of the landscape – from the weathered stone of the path and the rocky terrain, to the subtle nuances of the clouds above. The carefully composed leading lines of the rope fence guide the viewer's gaze, adding depth and perspective to this serene yet powerful scene.
Perfect for adding a touch of classic elegance and a sense of wanderlust to any space, this photograph evokes the enduring spirit of maritime history and the raw beauty of the Balearic Islands. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or anyone who appreciates the quiet strength of architectural landmarks against a natural backdrop.
The picture was taken during a Lighthouse expedition around Europe in 2025.
