lighthouse on Hjelm Island

Lighthouse on the Danish island of Hjelm in December 2000. Both pictures were taken from mainland (Djursland). The upper one showes a nice illusion above the warmer water. The lower picture was made short before sunset - the island lies still in the deep standing sun and the lighthouse is already flashing.
