Because the image and the idea of a lighthouse for a person associates with pure direct connection with nature - sea (ocean) as it is thrilling to see and feel the natural view from the top storey of a lighthouse. It's unique and attractive because it is usually situated on the "dramatic" edge between land and water. It symbolises and incarnates the eternal sight to the sea and the world from up above. It also associates with supernal loneliness of a lighthouse keeper and the lighthouse itself, standing high above the natural relief of earth. It is also appendant to idyllic calmness, harmony, contemplation, melancholy and even nostalgia, as the lighthouse can be realized as a harbinger of the sea on land. People also find the light of a lighthouse showing the way to the ships deeply romantic, and even existential. To sum up, it all about the emersion above down-to-earth life.
