The story behind the image
St.-Peter-Ording in Northern Germany has been for many years an important location for my family. Members of the family visited the town frequently since the early 1940s. I, too, remember trips to the beach in the 1970s and 1980s. So it was natural for me to re-visit this beautiful sea-side village with my wife.
2007 was the right time. We wanted to explore the area in spring to get a different experience than a beach vacation in summer.
While it was still pretty cold, we explored the town and surroundings and came across the local lighthouse called Böhler Leuchtturm. It was built in 1892 and, at the time of writing, still serves ships on the North Sea as a transverse marker light for the Eider shipping channel. The round brick tower is the landmark of Böhl, a quarter of St. Peter-Ording. Situated on top of a dike, it sits at the frontier of the North Sea. Benches invite for a rest and to enjoy the salty air and utmost tranquility of the location.
Unmissable.
