Above the Golden Grasses

About this piece

A white lighthouse stands near the center of a wide coastal landscape, its dark lantern outlined against an expansive blue sky. Strong sunlight illuminates golden dune grasses in the foreground, while dense shrubs and palms form a green band behind them. The tower’s upright geometry anchors the layered, bending vegetation.

The story

In the May light, golden seed heads lean across the foreground, their fine stems overlapping until the ground disappears. Beyond them, palms gather around the white tower without reaching its lantern. The eye moves through this tangle of green and gold, then rests on the lighthouse’s spare silhouette. Above it, the blue sky opens into an uninterrupted quiet.
