Phare de Walde (Walde Lighthouse)

This is my newest product : Posters, postcards and fridge magnets depicting the Walde Lighthouse in Marck, France.

It’s one of the rare remaining metallic Lighthouse in the country, and is on the sand of Marck beach.

Lighthouse made in Blender.
Environment made in Affinity Designer.

Very persuasive postcard art . . . nicely done.

Those so-called “screw-pile lighthouses” seemed like a good idea at the time. But they just didn’t hold up very well in storms.

Thank you.

Yes indeed.

This one in Marck is now in a terrible condition, and is actually being investigated for a possible restoration plan, although let’s be honest, the chances are small.

I find this sooo beautiful and well done.
I wish I could like them every single day :+1:

@Otowa: In very case “here in the States,” these lighthouses were replaced by stone or brick towers, if the site continued to be necessary. So far as I know, no one ever attempted to “repair” them. They corroded badly, and were easily damaged by rough weather.
