Description
Against the clear blue of a cloudless sky, the iconic Sea Pines lighthouse stands, inviting travellers, tourists, and golfers from all over the world. The red and white striped tower, with a green roof and a circle of American flags is THE landmark of Hilton Head Island.
This is the light. Surrounded by oak trees, it stands guard over a multitude of yachts. This is the harbor. The water is calm, smooth, and placid, forming a mirror which reflects both the light and the boats. The sun throws shadows on the hulls and bleaches the decks of the watercraft in their slips. Beside a floating walkway of aged wood, The bow of a yacht juts into the photo, beside a mooring. Together, they mimic the horizontal stripes of the light. And the quiet, dark water of the basin catches it all, inviting the viewer to see it twice.
