Starry Night Over Fenwick Island Lighthouse

Imagine the result if Vincent Van Gogh had done a painting of the Fenwick Light.

The iconic starry night scene, painted in 1889 by Vincent Van Gogh, has become an international symbol of beauty and creativity. Through the use of special filtering techniques via Artificial Intelligence (AI), that Van Gogh “style” has been incorporated into this photograph of the Lighthouse at Fenwicks Island (as it was originally labeled) in Fenwick Island, Delaware.

The lighthouse, located near Fenwick Island, Delaware, stands tall against the backdrop of a deep night sky full of stars. Filtering with a set of vibrant colors and serene brush strokes enabled this nighttime setting to be reminiscent to the famous Starry Night painting. The original Starry Night was able to capture both grandness and calmness in a breathtaking painting that continues to awe viewers today – we hope this “AI” implementation does not tarnish the work of the Master, Van Gogh.

The Fenwick Island Lighthouse has long been a beacon of hope for sailors and travelers off the Delaware coast. It is not every day that a masterpiece painting such as Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” lends its concept to a composite image of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse – blending with the composite image below. You might say, a composite of a composite.

“Night Light” – the Fenwick Island Light – this is the image to which the “Starry Night” effect was applied.

The Fenwick Island Lighthouse is truly a sight to behold. It’s no wonder it has been widely celebrated since its original “lighting” – standing before starry nights in 1859 – only 30 years before the Master Painter created his Starry Night.

Most “touristy” pictures are usually little more than snapshots and include myriad distractions. Those distractions always include the many electric lines and the large utilities pole in front of the lighthouse. Those snapshots are also marred by people wandering by, cars in the way and possibly even litter in the streets. Bill’s photographs have many distractions (wires) edited out and time is taken to make sure tourists and cars are not in the way. Can you get rid of the wires and the pole in the image to the right?

These photographs will make wonderful gifts for your friends, family and loved ones.

Perhaps you would like to decorate your home with a remarkable image of your visit to the beach or you may want to gift someone with a photograph or home décor piece. If so, this is the place to browse and shop.
