Suurupi, Estonia
This was a bit easier to find as you can see it from a distance. Then of course we had to drive up some dirt road that had more of a feel of a driveway. We took the left fork and found a reasonable view point. Had those dandelions everywhere. Then we drive over to the front gate. I was going to get out and stand by the entrance to catch a couple of quick shots, but there goes Rein T. walking right down the driveway to the front door and started talking to a woman. Then he waves his arm for me to come in. I wish I had someone like these two guys in every country I visit. I think Rein S. sorta liked the hunting part. Nothing had to get hurt when you found your prey.
Constructed 100 years before the smaller Alumine light, this large cylindrical tower is only 22 meters tall but commands a much higher perch from its hilltop site at 66 meters above sea level. I got my picture of the door and we departed for Pakri.
Here's how I saw it:
