Lindesnes fyr is a coastal lighthouse on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first built in 1655. To avoid confusion with the lighthouse at Skagen in Denmark, it was lit in conjunction with Markøy fyrstasjon. It has gone through several changes since it was built: In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens.Sunday, 4 October 2009

Your picture suggests bleakness yet the strength to resist the elements.
So good to see your work again.
Flott variant i s/v og fin komposisjon.
Nå må jeg se å få dratt til et sted der det står et fyr! Flott bygg!
Kjempe flott.
Beautifull pictures, always.
Underbart foto. Stillhet och mycket ödslighet. Påminner mig om boken Nattfåk av Johan Theorin. Kuslig bok.
Enormt Joh, det perfekte bildet for sort hvitt.
For et sted, har aldri vært der men har akk så lyst. Flott bilde!
Lovely shot John, nice in the monochrome too-thanks for sharing:)
I love your image, same as what Aileni said...
Det er noe spesielt med fyr - og du har fanget det så bra!
PS Takk for hjelpen :-)
John, the structure looks imposing by the sea. Very nice.
This picture is perfect for a monochrome shot. It looks forlorn and imposing.
I could sit and stare at this all day .. and invent all sorts of stories ...
The depth and detail of this photo are amazing. I can imagine sitting in this lighthouse watching storms roll in off the ocean.
