Rubjerg Knude fyr - Denmark.
Built: 1899.
Began to be used: 1900.
Probibly the last chance to see this lighthouse. If not moved during 2019 it will fall into the ocean sometime between 2020-2023.
LINDESNES FYR, Lindesnesveien 1139, 4521 Lindesnes
On the 27th of February 1656 Norway’s first lighthouse was lit at Lindesnes. It consisted of 30 tallow candles burning atop a three storey tower. This was not a good solution, and after constant complaints from the mariners the lighthouse was shut down after a few months. It took till 1725 for the lighthouse to be re-established.
The cast iron tower at Lindesnes, at 16,1 metres, is not particularly high, but even so, the height of the light is 50.1 metres above sea level and it can be seen for 20 nautical miles (37 km) in clear weather. The lens is one of the largest known, a so called first order lens of French manufacture. Under extreme conditions the sea can wash over both the engine house and the tower.
The cast iron tower at Lindesnes was erected in 1915. Here, the light is still shining through the French lens which arrived at the light-house in 1854. In 1920 the lighthouse got a new, powerful foghorn and a separate machine house was built to accommodate it, its compressors and a power-supply.
There are also many traces of German building activity dating back to the Second World War visible in the lighthouse area, with building foundations, trenches, gun emplacements and rooms blasted out of the mountain. Parts of the complex are now accessible to the public and are sometimes used for, among other things, exhibitions.

The Kullen Lighthouse (Swedish: Kullens fyr) is an operational lighthouse in Scania, located by the mouth of Öresund, at the point of Kullaberg peninsula, in Höganäs, on the south-west coast of Sweden. Kullen is one of the most prominent landmarks along the Swedish coastline, and with its 1000 Watt electric bulb in a huge lenshouse, also the most powerful lighthouse in Scandinavia, overlooking one of the world's most heavily traveled waters.
The lighthouse is 15 meters tall and its focal plane is located 78.5 meters above sea level making it the highest located lighthouse in Sweden. Every 5 seconds, the Kullen Lighthouse flashes white for 0.3 seconds with 27 nautical miles reach.
I perfer to photograph lighthouses in winter, they seem more desolate and remote. That the sun low in the horizon is, helps.

Fyr is “lighthouse” in Norwegian. Bremstein Fyr was the inspiration for this one-off work. The original was an iPhone pic. I doubt it ever enjoyed such a shift in personality though. What I shot when we sailed by in September of ‘18 was dim, damp and dismal. I thought; let’s set this image on “Fyr..! Bremstein Fyr, Norwegian Sea, Vega, Norway.
