Small coastal lighthouse (Shpil'-Mayak) on the northern approach to Arkhangelsk — strong graphic subject against wide Arctic skies and river/water reflections. Best at sunrise/sunset and blue hour when low light sculpts the tower and long exposures tame river motion. Summer offers long golden evenings; winter gives moody snow and extended blue hours. Easy urban access from Oktyabr'skiy Okrug; likely no entry fee but shoot from public shore. Limited parking nearby — bring warm clothing in cold季s.
