This is one of the two lighthouses at the estuary mouth of the river Warnow into the Baltic Sea at Rostock - Warnemünde.
This shot was taken from the upper deck of a ferry boat used for harbour tours from Rostock to Warnemünde, a quarter of Rostock itself.
The seaside part of Rostock, Rostock-Warnemünde, is
about 16 km to the north of the historic city centre. Rostock stretches 21.6 kilometres from the Baltic Sea to the south and 19.4 km from east to west.
Rostock's port is Germany's largest Baltic port. Rostock is also home to a large ferry port. It is a main base for ferry operators Scandlines and TT-Line, which both connect Rostock with major Scandinavian destinations. Furthermore, Rostock receives the highest numbers of cruise tourists in Germany per year.
The city is served by major ferry companies such as Scandlines or Tallink. Ferries leave for Tallinn, Estonia; Helsinki, Finland; Gedser, Denmark and Trelleborg, Sweden.
BTW: I captured in this shot the only moment during the harbour tour when the sun came out for a few minutes (have a look at the sky in the image).
Any comments and critiques are as always appreciated.
Regards,
Britta |
