Lighthouse of the Week, February 8-14, 2015: Helsingør , Denmark


Surprise!  This week's Lighthouse is actually a pair, painted bright orange and bright green, on twin piers (moles) in the harbor of Helsingør, Denmark.  This is my first posting of a lighthouse from Denmark, and it probably won't be my last, as the small country has lots of coast and lots of lighthouses.

More information on them here:

 Helsingør Nordmole
Date unknown (1916?). Active; focal plane 7 m (23 ft); continuous green light. 6 m (20 ft) 2-stage round tower with a small lantern, painted green with white trim; lantern dome is gray metallic. 

 Helsingør Sydmole
Date unknown (1916?). Active; focal plane 7 m (23 ft); continuous red light. 6 m (20 ft) 2-stage round tower with a small lantern, painted red with white trim; lantern dome is gray metallic.

And here's the pictures.  First both of them together, and then each one of them separately.
