A stunning photographic survey of Sweden’s lighthouses, built in many architectural styles and from various materials. Photographer Magnus Rietz has spent a number of years passionately capturing on film the unique array of lighthouses along Swedish coasts. Together with sea pilot Harry Sellman, he also documents their function in society-once practical, and now increasingly cultural and metaphoric. Though technology has made them superfluous, they remain a modest, but extremely important part of Swedish cultural heritage.
