EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic St Marys Lighthouse, a true testament to North Tyneside's rich maritime history. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, this decommissioned lighthouse has been an enduring symbol of safety for sailors since its construction. Built in 1898, St Marys Lighthouse faithfully guided ships through treacherous waters until its decommissioning in 1984. Today, it stands as a beloved landmark that continues to captivate visitors with its timeless charm. The lighthouse itself is complemented by the adjacent lightkeeper's house which now serves as a fascinating museum, offering glimpses into the lives of those who once manned this beacon of hope. From an aerial perspective, Dave MacLeod skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of this historic structure. The intricate details of the lighthouse are brought to life through his lens - from its distinctive red and white stripes to the elegant lantern room perched atop. This print not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of our enduring connection to our maritime heritage. It invites us to imagine standing on top of that towering structure, feeling both awe-inspired by its commanding presence and humbled by its vital role in guiding countless vessels safely home. Whether you're a lover of history or simply appreciate breathtaking photography, this image is sure to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about St Marys Lighthouse's storied past.
