Lyngvig Lighthouse.
By John P Fortin (Blood_Hawk23)
Here is a modest creation of the Lyngvig lighthouse in Denmark.
Lyngvig light was one of two lighthouse used as waypoint markers for the Tondern Raid. The Tondern raid, officially designated Operation F.7, was a British bombing raid mounted by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force against the Imperial German Navy's airship base at Tønder, Denmark, then a part of Germany. It was the first attack in history made by aircraft flying from a carrier flight deck.
Lyngvig Lighthouse was the last lighthouse built along the west coast of Jutland. It was built in 1906 and lit for the first time on November 3rd. A tragic accident out to sea in 1903, where 24 sailors lost their lives, became the incentive for the build. The 38m tall lighthouse stands on a 17m tall dune; the tower itself it has 159 steps that lead to a balcony with a panoramic view, and there's another 69 steps from the foot of the dune. The lighthouse beacon can be seen for miles – when the sky is clear it can be seen from 50km away.
