I like the photo Anita shared on the challenge thread - I've seen several of the lighthouses along the Brittany coastline (and along the west coast of France), but not that one.
Although I have several very nice lighthouse stamps, I decided it was time to colour this one in. I gave the stamp to someone some years back, and when she sent me a card made with it, she included a couple of stamped images for me. I matted it on red, added a couple of photo corners, and for Anita's bonus and an old-fashioned classroom look, I used a number stencil and white pigment ink.
Funny coincidence, Microsoft popped two lighthouses onto my desktop lock screen over the last week - Split Rock and Duluth North Pier.

This is a really unique and somewhat unexpected image. I don't think I have ever seen a lighthouse that was backed by a village - but is is a really interesting view especially since we are used to seeing these either on a precipice looking out to sea or in the middle of waters. The soft colors on your building give the illusion that this are has been here for hundreds of years buffeted by winds & rain with everything fading into the land around it.
