a tall structure with a bright light at the top to guide ships at sea

a tall white lighthouse stands on rocky cliffs with its bright beam sweeping across the dark ocean. The powerful light rotates in a wide arc, cutting through the stormy darkness. A small fishing boat struggles through rough waves in the distance, following the lighthouse's guiding beam. The captain at the boat's wheel steers toward the safe harbor, using the bright light as his navigation guide. Other boats can be seen in the background also following the lighthouse's signal. Seagulls fly around the lighthouse structure while waves crash against the rocky base below. a tall structure with a bright light at the top guiding ships at sea
