Description
Before the age of electronics and GPS, mariners depended on three things to navigate the oceans and shorelines at night. Two of those are visible in this render...the third object is subtly suggested by the light reflected off of the lighthouse. It's a clear night and no storms or fog on the horizon.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting.

The human touch! I know some fascinating people who grew up in lighthouses - this is a worthy tribute to them.
I sometimes wonder if 'after' the age of electronics and GPS, whether people (those left) will once again navigate by the Moon and Stars and suddenly, on a moonless night, one of them will say... "Hey, let's build a big house with a light on top!".
Yes the moon would make a great guiding aid, and this is a wonderful scene here! very nice Keith!
Wonderful scene. Excellent work.
We have a lighthouse here which doesn't look too different from thus one, although its built on rock and approached by a causeway at low tide. The angle of view and the clear starry sky provides a good accompaniment to this image.
fantastic lighthouse ! love the sky colour +stars
I just saw the Tybee Island lighthouse and was reminded of this very idea ~~ technology aside, the moon and the stars will always be there and you caught this beautifully!!
a very very beautiful work Keith! the light it´s splendid. :D
Love your lighthouse compositions and this is no exception. Beautiful scene and work...
Lighthouses hold such a fascinating sense of mystery and adventure in our history. I like Marilyn's likeness to the moon and the stars. Beautiful work on this scene, Keith. You've brought this lighthouse to life so well with the stars and hint of moonlight. Excellent art!
All I ask for is a tall ship and a star to steer it by...(Excellent work Keith!...the atmosphere and lighting awesome as always!
An excellently modelled lighthouse Keith, I can see your modelling skills increasing. This has a great POV and the night-time atmosphere and your use of lighting certainly makes it stand out really well. I like the foliage at the front as well. A definate fav. Tony :-)
I agree with Tony...the foreground is very well done,and your night sky and ATMO one of the best on this site...kudos Keith!
Xcellent rendering!

You surprised me with this one, Keith. You've done a beautiful night-time atmosphere and the lighthouse lighten by the moon light is stunning, excellent work. -Grayson
awesome pov and lighting gorgeous composition!!
Excellent render of the light crossing the sky from this light-house superbly designed and rendered. I like the special angle that makes this building a huge one,towering over the landscape.
Wonderful POV
the sky looks fantastic, the midnight blue color and cloud cover are just right, and the way the eye gets drawn down to the base, with all the detail and plants--excellent!
