    How do you capture the spirit of a place where time seems to stand still, yet the stories it holds ripple endlessly? As the golden hour cast its magic over Hilton Head Island, I prepared for one of the most challenging photographs of my career: the iconic red-and-white striped Hilton Head Lighthouse at Harbour Town, standing sentinel over Calibogue Sound. The FAA had authorized my drone flight, but the weight of responsibility still pressed heavily. This wasn’t just any photograph—it was an homage to a place brimming with charm and history.

    The warm breeze carried the scent of saltwater mingled with pine. Gulls cried overhead, their silhouettes painting graceful arcs against the sherbet hues of the sunset. The marina was alive with the clinking of masts, the murmur of conversations drifting from the restaurants, and the occasional laughter of families gathered to watch the day slip away.

    The Harbour Town Lighthouse, a 90-foot beacon affectionately dubbed “Hilton Head’s guiding light,” wasn’t just a navigational aid. It was a symbol of resilience and pride. Built in 1970 as part of the Sea Pines Resort, it embodied the island’s motto, “The Lowcountry’s crown jewel.” Its red-and-white bands were unmistakable—a nod to the region’s rich maritime history.

    Launching the drone required precision. Winds off the sound made stabilization tricky, and capturing the lighthouse from just the right angle meant balancing the marina’s elegance, the shimmering water, and the glowing horizon. Slowly, I ascended, the drone offering a vantage point that revealed the beauty of Hilton Head in ways no words could describe.

    From above, the scene was breathtaking. Boats bobbed gently in the marina, their reflections rippling on the water’s surface. The lighthouse stood resolute, its stripes glowing in the waning sunlight. Beyond, the bay stretched into the distance, where sea and sky became one. I adjusted the camera, framing the shot so sunset colors painted this maritime history scene in warm, ethereal light.

    Each click of the shutter felt like capturing a piece of history—a moment never to be repeated. Hilton Head once home to Gullah communities now embraces a balance of heritage and modernity. This watercolor print celebrates that harmony.
