Photographs by Grant Sheehan
Lights in the Landscape is a truly spectacular (I exagerate not) photographic journey from New Zealand ’s
most northern lighthouse at Cape Reinga , to our most southern, in Foveaux Strait
The book shows not only the lighthouses
themselves but also the landscape around them, capturing the wild beauty of the
coastline, the often unpredictable weather and the wildlife that live in these,
mostly isolated areas.
Accompanying the photographs is text
giving a short history and for lighthouses still operational, technical
details.
The
photographs capture sharp textural landscapes in many different light
situations, from storm light and moonlight and nightscapes filled with stars.
Photographic data is included in the caption of each
image.
The book also includes a brief history, with
portraits, of the last keepers that manned the lighthouses in the final days
before automation.
