# lighthouses of europe

![lighthouses of europe](https://libreriadelmare.it/wp-content/uploads/lighthouses-of-europe-thomas-ebelt-adlard-coles-2.jpg)

**Europe has over 40000 miles of coastline**, stretching from the icy black waters of the Baltic to the deceptively serene Mediterranean. With many of Europe's countries bordering a sea, **the need for lighthouses has spanned much of the continent for centuries**.

**Lighthouses hold a perennial fascination** for many of us: an indicator of danger, a beacon of the sea, laced with history and romance and a magnet for coastal walkers and visitors.

Photographer Thomas Ebelt was charged with capturing **beautiful imagery of the most stunning lighthouses** for a lavish calendar, but on his journeys along Europe's coasts he found enough outstanding structures and dramatic landscapes to fill a calendar every year for a decade or more. **This book is a collection of his finest photographs**, from Poland and Estonia, via Iceland, around Scotland and England and towards Malta and Sicily.

**Each lighthouse is accompanied by illuminating text about their history and construction**. Specifications boxes provide information on **position, identification features, height of the tower, height of the light, range and year of construction**.
