Have a very good weekend  there too my friend!

kupoakupoa, truly nice scenery, and  Lighthouse looks to be reasonably new, or very well cared for.  I ask this question:  WHY is the Lighthouse such a dark color?
I would think it to be a light color to help being seen.

hello bob, i found this informations about it:

The Eversand overhead fire was built by AG Weser in 1886/87 on behalf of the Hanseatic City of Bremen (53 ° 45'N / 8 ° 21'E). Together with the Eversand sub-fire , from 1887 to 1923 it directed shipping traffic in the area of ​​the Weser estuary through the Wurster Arm of the Outer Weser with a white fixed fire . At that time the main waterway ran there. The buildings closed a lighting gap between Bremerhaven and the open sea.

The tower originally had a Fresnel belt lamp with a catadioptric reflector. The focal length was 500 mm. At the beginning a three-wick kerosene lamp provided the light, which extended over twelve nautical miles . In 1905 a more powerful petroleum incandescent light was used.

Due to the relocation of sands in the Weser, the main fairway had to be relocated to the Fedderwarder Arm in 1922 . The towers lost their function. After that Eversand-Oberfeuer served as a rescue beacon (so-called refuge for shipwrecked people ) and was maintained as such until 1994/95. Then the ice drift damaged the substructure.

In March 2003 the transfer from Eversandwatt to Dorum-Neufeld took place. The Hanseatic City of Bremen assumed a large part of the implementation costs of around 1.8 million euros. The lighthouse was erected at the end of a new pier and provided with a side stair tower. Here the lighthouse serves as the harbor fire of Dorum-Neufeld and is the center of the tourist attraction Erlebnisraum Wadden Sea .

Today the beacon has a belt lamp with a focal length of 400 mm with a five-watt energy-saving lamp that is controlled by a photocell . Access to the tower is at a height of 17 m and can be reached via a separate stair tower. Access to the second gallery is through three stairs in the tower. Outside the tower there is a spiral staircase that serves as an evacuation staircase in the event of a fire.

WELL!  Thank you so much for all that interesting history.  Although the Light is very nice looking, I would still think it would be a lighter color (perhaps yellow?), to be easier to see in the night - at least.  You have found a lot of information, and I am thankful for your time and efforts.

you are very welcome Sir Bob!
i guess the power of the light is more important for ship´s safety passage then the color of the structure..

Perhaps a security consideration?  It very nice looking!  Keep up the nice videos as Alex Markov said to me once, get out and get some fun - hehehe - doing videos of course.

Looks nice!
