Swept up in a mesmerizing swirl of sand in
this atmospheric photograph, the stark Rubjerg Knude lighthouse perfectly
echoes the elemental beauty of its natural surroundings. Situated in Denmark’s
North Jutland, facing out to the North Sea, the lighthouse has stood here since
1900. Except it hasn’t stayed in exactly the same spot: due to coastal erosion
of the surrounding cliffs, in October 2019 it was moved 230 feet (70m) inland
to prevent it toppling into the sea.
So no one can judge us by our
covers.
Dating
back to Roman times, the Tower of Hercules Lighthouse is likely to have been
built during the reign of Trajan in AD 98-117 and it’s the only Roman-era
lighthouse still in use today. The exceptionally well-preserved structure
consists of a four-sided tower topped with two smaller octagonal towers, which
were added by architect Eustaquio Giannini in the 18th century. Presiding over
the entrance of the historic city of A Coruña in northwestern Spain, the
statuesque lighthouse’s beauty is only heightened by the surrounding craggy
cliffs.
A striking, utilitarian structure
on the northeast coast of Tenerife opened in 1994, Punta Del Hidalgo Lighthouse
is anything but traditional. The angular, 160-foot (50m) tower is made up of
irregular stacked pillars of increasing heights on a triangular base, making it
resemble a steep vertical staircase heading into the skies.

but it was his birthday and he looks great in a tuxedo.
This dinky 41-foot (12.5m) tall
lighthouse, perching on a tiny rocky outcrop known as Nubble Island off the
coast of York Beach in Maine, has been in operation since 1879. With its
attractive Victorian keeper’s house, recognizable red light and cast-iron railings,
it’s no wonder this New England gem has inspired generations of photographers.
I guess they were having an
AA-meeting.
One of the youngest lighthouses
in our round-up, Enoshima Sea Candle was constructed in 2003 to mark the 100th
anniversary of the Enoshima Electric Railway. Standing over Sagami Bay in
central Japan, the 197-foot (60m) tall glass and steel structure looks most
spectacular by night, when it’s illuminated in different colors depending on
the season: green for spring, blue for summer, orange and yellow for fall, and
purple (as pictured here) for winter.

Standing on the rugged Hook
Peninsula, located in County Wexford on Ireland’s south coast, Hook Lighthouse
is surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. Built in the 13th century by the
knight William Templar to develop the shipping trade, the black-and-white
striped tower is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world. It was electrified
in 1972 and automated in 1996, and the lighthouse remains fully operational
today.
