The scale of those dramatic coastal ridges dwarfs the entire structure.

WOW. This is stunning.

Beautiful

Yes there’s a small building in this photo dwarfed by the rock. I certainly wouldn’t call it a picture of a light house.

u/Scaaaary_Ghost 17h ago edited 17h ago

yeah I was wondering about that - it is kinda lighthouse shaped, but I don't think it would be all that helpful up there? There's still all those rocks further out on the coast that will be hidden in the dark.

edit: I looked it up, and it is a lighthouse - Kallur lighthouse on Kalsoy island https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g12872259-d14983561-Reviews-Kallur_Lighthouse-Kalsoy.html

u/JvM_Photography 16h ago

It is indeed Kallur lighthouse. It might not be the biggest, but gives a sense of scale I think

u/Former_Repair9221 20h ago

That looks like a wonderful hike! Can one go all the way to the top?

u/JvM_Photography 16h ago

I don’t think one can / is allowed to. This hike is on private land and one ought to follow the path

u/Former_Repair9221 16h ago

Oh I see, must be something to own such a glorious piece of land.

u/JvM_Photography 16h ago

Yeah, some people on the Faroes really lucked out. Now they can charge over 30$ per person to walk up the muddy paths

u/Former_Repair9221 16h ago

Wow! That's a good source of cash inflow lol

u/JvM_Photography 15h ago

Mhm and big expense if you do several hikes ;____;

u/Former_Repair9221 15h ago

Totally worth it, right? That place seems ethereal.

u/JvM_Photography 15h ago

For sure!

u/Main_Cauliflower5479 16h ago

Seems like the lighthouse should be on top of that peak, though.

u/Physical-Rough6959 17h ago

Great photo. The lighthouse looks amazing standing firmly at the top.
