Both taken with my M3 and a 1970's era 28mm Elmarit on BW400CN. .

The first is definitely not from the shadow side but I think enough 
of the curvature of the tower is revealed for the photo to be 
interesting.  The sun was directly behind me and just about to set 
when I made the shot.  Minor tilts, perspective corrections and level 
adjustments done in Photoshop.  I had to tilt the camera up a bit to 
get the entire Light in from this location.   Another step back and 
I'd have been swimming.   Also removed a few heads and torsos that 
popped up behind the rocks.  Despite the chilly late-November 
afternoon the grounds were quite crowded.  I wanted the photos to 
evoke the ruggedness and desolation that typifies the New England 
coast in winter.

Alternate, and a bit more from the shadow side.
