I think what you would want to do in this situation is, 'pull a Christo':
photograph the lighthouse "as is" to your heart's content, but, after the
restoration work is done be sure to salvage as much of the green plastic wrap
as possible: then, you can market yor photos as High Art - "Wrapped Lighthouse"
- and include a little sample of the green plastic with each photo. Hey, just
like being there (kinda sorta almost)!

Not shooting the lighthouse this year. They've got it wrapped in
green plastic or something. Major restoration work. I've been trying
to think of how to turn it into art, but haven't managed to come up
with a way yet. One of the folks involved told me they plan to bury
all the wires I've had to Photoshop out for all these years. Well,
Photoshop and PWP out before I switched to Photoshop. It's going to
take a lot of the fun out of shooting that light. Sigh. Maybe I'll
try to find another lighthouse to take pictures of. Branch out.
Broaden the horizons. Take up new challenges. Etc. I'm an old dog,
though. I don't much like new tricks.
