White lighthouse

About this photo

This is the lighthouse of Katwijk, the Netherlands. It's the second oldest lighthouse of the county and was built in 1605. It has served for over 300 years and was shut off in 1912.
In the beginning the firehouse was lit using a a fire on top of the building. The building is called "De vuurbaak". Later on this was replaced by an oil lamp.
The building is bright white but since the picture was taken during sunset the lighthouse has a yellow/orange glow.

About my picture a day:

I've been photographing for quite some years. Not always very active and I've never I have outgrown the amateur status. But I like photographing. Over the past years I've used several different camera's and created thousands of photos. All of them safely stored in a photo archive.
Every day I'm going to share one of the pictures in my archive that I like.
