Sardinia’s Spanish towers: coastal landscape photography

During a visit to southern Sardinia, I photographed one of the historic coastal watchtowers often called Spanish towers. Its position above the shoreline gave the landscape a strong focal point.

I spent time scouting for an angle that connected the tower with the bay rather than isolating it from its surroundings. The relationship between the structure and the coastline was what interested me most.

After sunset, the tower’s outline settled into the darker landscape. These quieter compositions became my favourites from the session, showing how an old landmark can give shape to a wide coastal view.
