Light houses are more typically painted with the ocean in the foreground. But I found this view of Race Point Light in Provincetown especially interesting as we hiked across the marsh behind it on our way to Hatch's Harbor one bright, sun-lit afternoon. The low, colorful dunes on which the light and its associated buildings sit, and the broad swath of low-tide mud flats in the foreground, with their receding waters and occasional vegetation, gave it all - I thought - an especially inviting look, despite its lonely, isolated location.
