Hi all,
With my first post in your community I want to share with you some Moody black and white photographs from the Europa Point Lighthouse in Gibraltar and it’s surrounding views. "This is my entry for the #monomad challenge"
The photos are taken December 2016. Dark clouds formed. I just love cloudy days… I think they are better than the bright blue skies you see here in southern Spain. 😎
Here I’m standing at the furthest point of Europa point on Gibraltar. Looking towards “The Rock”
The white building: King Fahad bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Mosque.
Next to me General Sikorski Memorial.
Trinity Lighthouse.
View towards the straight.
And one more lighthouse photo.
My last photo will be the view towards the Rock again.
A little bit more information about Gibraltar, Europa Point and it’s Lighthouse can be found: Here or Here

“The Europa Point Lighthouse, also referred to as the Trinity Lighthouse at Europa Point and the Victoria Tower or La Farola in Llanito, is a lighthouse at Europa Point, on the southeastern tip of the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
Europa Lighthouse was inaugurated on 1 August 1841 in a brief ceremony witnessed by about 10,000 people. The first upgrade of the lighthouse occurred in 1864, when the single-wick lamp was replaced with a Chance Brothers four-wick burner, with further changes in 1875 and in 1894 when the amount of light emitted was increased. A three incandescent mantle burner was added in 1905. Following further modernisation in the 20th century, the lighthouse was fully automated in 1994 and converted to LED operation in 2016.
Europa Point Lighthouse is operated by Trinity House. The cylindrical tower is painted white, with a wide red horizontal band in the middle. The lighthouse has a height of 20 metres (66 ft) and is 49 metres (161 ft) above the high-water mark.”
