Lighthouse Tower at Katwijk aan Zee, Dutch Coast

12 May 2025 · Katwijkaan Zee

The lighthouse at Katwijk aan Zee shot from directly below, its whitewashed render tapering into a bold wedge against a deep, cloudless blue. Two brick-arched windows and a 1605 date plaque mark the facade — small facts set into a wall that has held its shape for four centuries. The low angle does the structural argument: the tower narrows as it rises, a geometry that flattens it to graphic form without losing any of its material weight.
