Avast, landlubbers!. Obereversand Lighthouse, Dorum, Germany

Today's image features playground at the Obereversand Lighthouse in Dorum-Neufeld, Germany. This lighthouse is a black, four-sided lattice tower featuring two galleries and a round lantern. Constructed between 1886 and 1887 by AG Weser for the Bremen Buoy and Beacon Office, it was part of an intergovernmental project involving the states of Bremen, Oldenburg and Prussia. Originally equipped with a Fresnel belt lamp and a 500 millimetres catadioptric reflector, it used a three-wick kerosene lamp to cast light over 19 nautical kilometres. By 1905, the lighthouse was upgraded with a more powerful kerosene lamp.

Today, the lighthouse is outfitted with a 400 millimetres belt lamp and a five-watt energy-saving lamp, controlled by a photocell. The entrance, situated 17 metres up, is accessed via a separate stair tower. The second gallery is reachable through three internal staircases, and an external spiral staircase seannarves as an evacuation route in emergencies. So, would you visit this spot?
