Lighthouse of Ustka Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lighthouse of Ustka (1892). The first Ustka lighthouse is believed to have been the tower of the church once situated in the park (about 300 metres from here) then replaced with an oil lamp and a metal lenses giving off red light, which was hung up on the pole of the port pilots’ station. This lighthouse was built in 1892 togheter with a new pilots’ station (the lower part of building). The building was made of red face-brick in a rough, Prussian style and resembles the lighthouses in Czołpino and Jarosławiec whose lights are also visible in Ustka. The Ustka lighthouse is 21.5 metres high. You can see its light at sea from the distance of about 30 kilometres.

This is a quite original lighthouse because of being attached to a kind of a castle. Nice shot with good light, colours and sharpness. Well done.

Hi Mikolaj,
I get the impression that these red brick building are as typical in Poland as red painted houses are in Sweden. This is a very fine lighthouse, with quite typical end-of-19th-century architecture. Well taken picture!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Sliczne mocne kolory, niezle podrasowane, to chyba wynik filtra polaryzacyjnego, co. Dobra ostrosc.

Ciao dear Mikolaj,
30 Kms are a great distance! Excellent photo, with a very interesting architecture that shows us this type of lighthouse very different respect to Italian lighthouses. Thanks to the perfect photographic quality, it's possible to appreciate the pleasant style of this construction. You have done a good photo, bright and with a beautiful contrast between the red and the blue one. Compliments!
Ciao, have a nice night!
Paolo
