Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon - it is the very heart of painting. Josef Albers

​Peering from the top of the tower of the Tybee Lighthouse 
An empty shore, a peaceful ocean stood afar. Not a soul in sight. 
Unlike the busy lighthouse, people clamored to climb the tower.
A picket fence on the grounds evokes a nostalgic and solemn mood. 
Its small scale contrasted with the towering lighthouse.
