Friday Mystery Place – Vol 24

·

Last week’s Friday Mystery Place was recognized with great accuracy by Justbluedutch, which should not be surprising given that the location is in the Netherlands.  Specifically, it is a view across the Maas river in the port city of Rotterdam.  We’re looking toward the Erasmus bridge and the Kop van Zuid (Head of South) with its high-rises.  And, yes, that is a water taxi coming in our direction.

I’m confident that this week’s mystery place will find an answer…

Exotic Lighthouse

When I saw this lighthouse, I found it to be very exotic.  Where is this location?

As always, extra credit for any additional detail you can provide!  Best of luck!

Technical Details

This image was captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mk III and an EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.  The exposure settings were at 1/125 second at f/8 and 400 ISO.

    I needed to finish my groceries until I finally follow my gut.:)
    So, I study your photo and it looked similar from Argyll and Bute Lighthouses in western Scotland..specifically the Rhinns of Islay Light,in the Isle of Orsay, a small island sheltering the harbor of Portnahaven at the southwestern tip of Islay. Accessible only by boat, but there are good views from the Portnahaven waterfront.
    Tell me if this rings the bell .

      You’re definitely in the right part of the world, but you haven’t pinpointed it quite yet.

        I see my mistake now. it looks more like the Eilean Musdile Lismore Light House 😄

        And that is the very one! I shot this off the ferry from Craignure to Oban.

    It looks similar to the lighthouse on Mull.

      You’re in the right part of the world, but it’s not on the beautiful Isle of Mull.

    Hi Frank,

    I was thrown off course on this one because of the chimney stacks. However, I think it is a picture of the Covesea Skerries lighthouse near Lossiemouth, Moray – Scotland. I discovered, unlike many lighthouses usually in lonely places, the keepers families lived in the cottages around the site.

      Hi James! You are in the right part of the world, but not quite the right spot.

        Attention to detail – got it now. I could have looked back at the other comments first, but tried to go it alone and failed. Fun search. All the best – James.
