[Art rec] Put the light out | Turn the light on

Original art rec: Put the light out | Turn the light on by thisdisasterauthor @ tumblr

I put this in my tumblr queue almost a year ago and it finally spat out again today. And I still really like it a lot so I'm linking it here too.

Artist's summary:

Awhile ago I was hit by the similar but opposing natures of fire towers and lighthouses, and I wanted to explore that more. Both lonely, out of the way stations worked in isolation in sometimes extreme conditions, both tasked with protecting large swathes of people they will never meet or probably even see. Yet one is about spotting light in the distance and putting it out, while the other is about turning on the light within and shining it out.

There's actually a reasonable staffing crossover between the two. Similar skillset.

Huh! Never gave it thought, but that makes a lot of sense. :V
