The Marken Lighthouse, popularly known as the Horse of Marken, was designed by Jan Valk and built in 1839 and stands on the eastern tip of the island of Marken. The lighthouse has a light height of 16 meters and a light range of 9 nautical miles. The lighthouse keeper's house next to the tower is occupied. The buildings have been national monuments since 1970.
The photo was taken from a beach near the lighthouse. It was storming while taking the photo, but the long shutter speed of more than 2.5 minutes makes the water look calm and the sky diffuse. This gives the image a minimalist effect.
