Crimson Sentry (Open Edition)

The Story

A red and white sparkplug-style lighthouse standing alone in the Chesapeake Bay under a soft, clouded sunset sky with gentle ripples in the water.

The Location

Point No Point Light stands alone in the open Chesapeake Bay, marking the dangerous shoal near where the Potomac River meets the main channel. Built in 1905, this caisson-style 'sparkplug' lighthouse has endured over a century of storms, ice, and tides — a testament to the watermen and keepers who relied on its beam.

Artist's Perspective

"Getting to Point No Point Light requires a boat — it stands alone in the open Bay, miles from shore. The weathered red and white paint tells the story of a century of Chesapeake weather. I shot this from water level to emphasize its isolation and the way it rises out of the water like it grew there." — Ryan Lott
