This year I was lucky to visit some different places in Russia, where few people have been and sometimes even few have heard of. I have traveled by airplanes, helicopters, rode cars and ATVs, sailed boats and ships. Summer and autumn turned out to be rich in different types of transport, perhaps, of those that come to my mind, I did not travel only by train.
I have brought quite a lot of photographs from my trips, and I am just starting to sort them — and this, as usual, is a very long process. But over time, I will definitely share with you all the most interesting and beautiful ones :)
Today I will show you one lighthouse in golden dawn light. This is the Tsypnavoloksky lighthouse, it is located on the Tsypnavolok cape of the Rybachiy peninsula, on the shores of the Barents Sea. It's said that the Tsypnavoloksky lighthouse is one of the most important on the shores of the northern seas of Russia.
Since ancient times, in the coastal waters of the Rybachiy Peninsula, the Pomors (the local population) have been fishing, and so the place has long been lively in terms of navigation and fishing. However, the first lighthouse on Tsypnavolok cape appeared only in 1896 — a wooden one, with a lantern at a height of about 6.6 m.
In 1933, the old lighthouse was rebuilt for the first time, and in 1975 it was constructed as it stands now: it is a white and red concrete tower 32 m high.
I looked at this lighthouse from the deck of the ship, when we stood in the bay nearby and waited for permission to go out to sea. We did not land on the shore in this place, we just took the lighthouse keeper there for a six-month watch.
And if you are wondering how the lighthouse looks in daylight, then take a look at the picture below. This is a postage stamp depicting the Tsypnavoloksky lighthouse, issued in the series "Lighthouses of Russia" in mid-October this year. In my opinion, the stamp looks pretty :)
It's better to watch photos in high resolution.
