•  Support If one way of looking at FPs is that you should enjoy hanging it on your wall, then this image has all the elements and light of a Skagen marine painting. Except, it's from Thisted and it's not a painting. -- cart-Talk 11:40, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Very painterly. Winslow Homer first came to mind. Perhaps it just needs a woman with a basket or a man in a farmer's hat. :) Or add some fog and a little boat and it's Ivan Aivazovsky. This will clearly pass either way, but I feel like the buoy in the background is a little distracting and wonder what it would look like cloned out. If it were off to the side, or if it were a boat or some other structure, that would be one thing, but it's just this sort of nub standing up straight in the background. Regardless, nice work. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

• Rhod, that is not a buoy, but a fixed structure at the end of the pier. From what I can see, it is either a beacon/navigation mark alerting boats that there is a pier, or a box for collecting weather data. For anyone used to being on a boat, such marks are crucial and very attractive. It is visible in every photo of the pier I can find and I don't think we should remove fixed landmarks like that. --cart-Talk 22:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

• Yep, having looked a bit closer at the photo of the harbor I linked to above, I can see that it is probably part of a Leading lights system. It corresponds with a large white disc further inland above the pier and houses, to guide boats to the harbor. --cart-Talk 22:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

• Aha. Landlubber I be. :) I still wouldn't mind it being removed, nonetheless, but I can appreciate why one wouldn't want to. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  23:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
