In the past history of this blog, I had one picture of this lighthouse in a very short post. So here's a bit more about it. It's on the Canary Island named La Palma, It's on the southeast coast of the isosceles-triangle shaped island (point toward the south) -- mapped here.
The Arenas Blancas lighthouse is pretty unique looking (but not as unique looking as the Punta del Hidalgo light).
Let's get some descriptive highlights from the Lighthouse Directory:
"1993. Active; focal plane 45.5 m (149 ft); white light occulting three times every 8 s. 38 m (125 ft) fluted round cylindrical white concrete tower with a rounded top; the light is displayed through a horizontal window at the top. 500 mm lens. 1-story keeper's house nearby."
Below are some pictures that illustrate the uniqueness.
