This house is on fire – as a lighthouse should be. Only that the backlighted illumination of Genoa’s historic lighthouse, La Lanterna, is natural, with the sun setting directly behind the almost 500 year old structure guiding to the entrance of the port of “La Superba”, as Genoa is also known since medieval times. The photo is a throwback to last November, when, during the first days of the month, the sun is setting directly behind the Lanterna, with 77 meters height the tallest lighthouse in the Mediterranean and still the second tallest in Europe.
The Significant Other and I left Austria on New Year’s Day to spend the last days of our Christmas break at our “Southern Home” in Genoa on the Ligurian Coast in Italy, enjoying the perfect weather, as beautiful as on that November day when I captured the lighthouse on fire with my iPhone 14 Pro while strolling along the Porto Antico.
I hope you all had a great start into 2025.
Wish you a great Friday
Marcus

2024 did have its highs and lows! I think we came through it, better people, and am looking forward to see what 2025 will bring. May it be a great year for your Street Photography which I always enjoy! The city where I have done most of my Street Photography is Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Thanks for your kind words and wishes, Marland, so very much appreciated! Photographing in Dhaka must have been quite an experience.
