I presume you mention this in the context of the second photo having gaps next to the lighthouse and the adjacent building. I could imagine that this is only a "colour feature" from how the "missing" parts are illuminated by the sun. The way how they are iluminated may have turned them to the same blue colour as the sky. I observed this some time ago in the context of "ships in the sky" where part of the sea received the same colour as the sky.
