"Snow Day" is a striking black and white photograph that captures the tranquil beauty of a winter coastal scene. The image features a majestic lighthouse, a symbol of resilience and elegance, standing tall on a snow-covered cliff that overlooks the calm sea. The lighthouse, with its classic tapering tower and charming lookout room, serves as a beacon of grace amidst the serene winter landscape. The snow blankets the rugged cliffs, creating a stunning contrast with the smooth waters below, enhancing the sense of peace and quiet that envelops the scene.
