Zeeland Coast (12), Westkapelle Lighthouse

Westkapelle is a coast village at the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands. This Westkapelle lighthouse stands in the middle of this village about 1 mile from the coast. At this place in 1470 a church and tower were built. After the church was pulled down, the remaining tower was (in 1818) converted into a lighthouse. In 1906 this lighthouse got its present light. I've climbed this tower and so I was able to capture a detail image of its top, which I posted yesterday. To Lyn I like to say: I didn't fly (this time) (lol).

Wat een verrassing Cornelius.Ik had nooit gedacht dat boven op die stenen toren nog een metalen vuurtoren zou hebben gestaan.Wat een originele aanpak en tevens ook een prachtfoto.

Al wat ik verwacht had, Cornelius,maar dit niet!
Ik weet niet zeker of ik dit nou een mooie combinatie vind!
Dat doet niks af van je foto hoor!, daar is niks mis mee!En om met Hubert te spreken, het blijft een originele foto!
(Rare jongens die Zeeuwen!...LOL)
Bedankt, Cornelius!,Altijd weer leuk om te zien die 'rariteiten'

I would never have guessed that this is what the tower would look like after seeing the top of it yesterday. What a study in contrasts!

I am not sure, if there is any lighthouse in this world, that is more interesting like this one - and man, this is hudge! Great and very interesting image.
