A high-angle monochrome study that transforms a common social space into a complex geometric landscape. The rhythmic repetition of circular tables and the stark linearity of the staircase create a visual dialogue between architecture and human interaction, all unified by a dramatic range of black and white tones.

A Spiraling Staircase to the Sky

Looking up from the base of the tower, I couldn’t resist capturing this perfect counter-clockwise spiral (clockwise from this perspective)— a design that would’ve made Leonardo of Pisa, better known as Fibonacci, smile. Geometry and nature often speak the same language, and this staircase seemed to echo that universal rhythm.

Taken with the Canon 5DsR and Sigma 24-70 Art, the composition builds on simplicity: steel beams spiraling upward, holding wooden steps that catch the morning light. The hazy autumn sky added that subtle blue-green tint — a result of sunlight scattering through fine moisture and dust particles.

Sometimes, the most fascinating patterns aren’t found in forests or fields, but in the engineered forms we create. Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.

Bye bye, Westkapelle It’s been an unforgettable trip — four seasons in just one week! From storms to sunshine, every moment brought new opportunities to capture the beauty of this place. Now that I’m home, still recovering from the long journey and endless laundry, I’m slowly making my way through all the photos. There are so many still waiting to be shared.

For now, I’ll keep it short and let the images do most of the talking. Here are two shots of Westkapelle’s iconic lighthouses, taken with my Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm, and one captured with my Canon 5DsR paired with the Sigma ART 24–70mm.

There’s something timeless about lighthouses. They don’t just guide ships — they remind us that even in rough seas, a steady light can lead the way.

I am off to bed now...
