Webside http://www.deutsche-leuchtfeuer.de/index.html : old coal fire from 1832-1855 ! But why listed in ARLHS ?

Greifswalder Oie lighthouse is well known. I was surprised to find ARLHS FED-355 in ARLHS list. This small tower is known as old fog horn! Was it lighted someday? A coal fire ?

Your are great, I think, there is no doubt. I have been there in 1999, but will do a double check! ;)
A reason to retour next year....

Lighthouse identification / My first picture of a light
February 16, 2020, 02:13:27 AM
I think this is my first picture of a light I have made, not to  know what a hobby will come later! :)
I made it 1994 in Greece, Chalkidiki, peninsula Kassandra ! I failed to identify this small harbour light!

General Discussion / Lists of lighthouses from Thailand
January 30, 2020, 02:08:00 AM
Recently I have made a trip to Eastern lighthouses of Thailand. I have found some lights not listed in Admiralty or Lighthouse Directory. But there are two lists, I cant find.
For instance, yesterday I uploaded Rayong lighthouse. Beside Admiralty and ARLHS the Directory mentioned THN-114 and NGA 20600. ??? ;)

General Discussion / Swedish lightships
January 06, 2020, 01:32:25 AM
After almost 16 years I made a correction of one of my pictures. In 2006 I followed "The Lighthouse Directory" to Northern Bothia and made a picture of a lightship, northern of Uppsala. Lighthouse Directory called this lightship " Finngrundet",
Now Erich Hartmann made this correction, thanks! This is Fyrskepp № 23 Kopparstenarna ! ;)
Everyone who is interested in lightships should visit

Travel center / Lost lighthouse on Menorca
October 14, 2019, 12:28:19 PM
Menorca is a wonderful place for lighthouse lovers. 7 great lighthouses are accessible easily by car! Now the question for our spanish lighthouse friends ! I have made a picture at a roundabout in Mahon. In the middle is a lighthouse lantern. The tourist information in Mahon could not answer my question about the origin of this lantern. Might it be the lost Mahon lighthouse listed in Lighthouse Dictionary?

Had a short discussion with captainpet about the choice of cameras to make great pictures of our lighthouses. Maybe we can discuss on a broader basis.
I prefer small cameras, low weight, to stuck it in my pants pocket. Now I use a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX 90V. I like this small camera, but the disadvantage is, these compact cameras can not achieve a greater zoom. The Sony has a 30 zoom. More would be better... ;)

I have seen more than 2700 lighthouses around the world, but  I was rarely so impressed as I was from the Lindesnes Lighthouse. Adventure world Lindesnes fyr !
The lighthouse is a protected site of cultural heritage in Norway. It is easy to reach by road, parking provided.
There is a visitor center with multimedia shows, restaurant, gift shop and well preserved historic buildings. Entrance fee is about 8 € ! It is open from May till October. So the lighthouse is  one of most known Norwegian lighthouses!
I was happy to have seen this great lighthouse. :)
