Lighthouse of the Week, February 17-23, 2019: Haengdamdo, South Korea


I think I've mentioned before that South Korea has a lot of lighthouses, and a lot of them are very unusual lighthouses.  This is a quick short post, because there are only a couple of pictures of this particular unusual lighthouse.

The lighthouse is the Haengdamdo light, located near Danjin, South Korea (which is on the western coast, south of Seoul).  It marks the end of sand bar near the Seohae Bridge.   Here's what the Lighthouse Directory says about it:
"2006. Active; focal plane 12 m (39 ft); red flash every 6 s. 17 m (56 ft) steel sculpture; the tower is curved gracefully forming a loop at the top. Entire structure is red."
As I noted, there aren't many pictures of it.  In fact, as far as I can find, there are two.

Here's one of them.




















Even though there aren't many pictures, it was on a stamp, too.
