The Byron Bay lighthouse is one of Australia's most iconic landmarks - and reveals its true beauty in the stillness of the night. Located at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland, the gleaming white structure rises majestically above the Pacific Ocean. When darkness falls, an extraordinary spectacle begins: the clear, deep black night opens up a view of the sparkling Milky Way, which stretches like a luminous ribbon directly above the lighthouse. The light from the tower meets the twinkling of countless stars - a moment in which nature and human orientation are poetically united.
The surroundings are calm, with only the gentle sound of the waves coming up from the foot of the cliffs. The air carries the salty scent of the sea, while the vastness of the sky conveys a feeling of boundless freedom. Here, where Australia's first sunlight arrives day after day, the night shows its most impressive side.
This motif captures the special atmosphere of a place where the elements merge: the deep blue of the sky, the radiant Milky Way and the glowing landmark on the coast. A picture full of tranquillity, power and cosmic magic.
