Star Trails Over Lighthouse on Black Cliffs

Long exposure star trails arc across the deep indigo sky above a white lighthouse perched on jagged black volcanic cliffs. A rhythmic sweep of bright light from the lantern room cuts through the darkness, illuminating the rough texture of the basalt rock and the wet surface of the nearby breakwater. The water below reflects faint, shimmering highlights from the beam. Low haze settles along the distant horizon, softening the outline of the dark landmass beyond. The composition balances the curved motion of the stars against the vertical rigidity of the tower, with the beam's edge creating a sharp line of brightness against the night. A small red navigation light blinks steadily on the cliff edge, anchoring the scale of the massive rock formation.
