Farol de Leça
Leça's lighthouse
The lighthouse is 57 meters tall and started providing guidance in 1927 but the idea of it is much older, 1866 is referred as the year when the need for such an equipment was first recorded. At that time three white strobes every 15 seconds were supposed to reach 43 miles. Since then it had several improvements and the rotation is no longer assured by a clock mechanism. Since the foundation up 1962 the lighthouse buildings hosted the school for lighthouse keepers.
After some hours shopping around - IKEA is really close - I finally get the chance to get the camera off the car trunk. It was one of those days where the sun is always trying to come out but showers are present all the time. The sky here is a bit pushed to reasonable limits as my wife after seeing the tuned chromatics provided by edition software gave me the face asking «Who do you expect to fool?»
