Description
Lindesnes Lighthouse (Norwegian: Lindesnes fyrstasjon) is a coastal lighthouse and museum on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655. To avoid confusion with the lighthouse at Skagen in Denmark, it was lit in conjunction with Markøy Lighthouse.
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. The current cast iron tower was set up in 1915 and fitted with the old Fresnel lens. In 1920 the lighthouse station got its first fog signal, a siren. The fog signal and its machinery is placed in a building beside the tower.
Sunday I went there with my Phantom to make some photos and video.

The germans made this to mount cannons on during the war. There are several like this in this aerea.

A great capture, Knut, and that was an excellent video! I really need to upgrade to a 3-axis gimbal.... Your videos are so smooth.. Or maybe just bite the bullet and get that new Inspire 1...... :-P I finally got to fly mine yesterday - been a long time!
