Searchlight on Harbor Entrance, Santiago de Cuba
A moonlit fort terrace at night, with a heavy iron cannon on a wooden carriage in the foreground beside a domed sentry box and an arched stone niche. Beyond the parapet, a pale beam of light cuts through the dark sky above a calm sea, and a crescent moon glows in the upper left.
Look closer: A small red light glows on the wall at the far left edge.
