Now that this is back on schedule, this week's lighthouse is the only working lighthouse on the actual island of Mauritius, the Pointe aux Caves (Albion) lighthouse, which covers the entrance to the capital and main city on the island, Port Louis. It's a standard lighthouse, but with really great views and well situated.
Specifications from the Lighthouse Directory:
"1910. Active; focal plane 46 m (151 ft); two white flashes every 10 s; there is also a continuous red passing light at a focal plane of 30 m (98 ft). 30 m (98 ft) masonry tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted white with two red horizontal bands."And just like last week, three pictures and a video:
