CAPELINHOS

The Lighthouse on the Moon

As I arrived before sunrise in the dark, I was astonished to find what seemed to be a lighthouse on the moon.

The lunar landscape of Capelinhos, with its otherworldly features, created a haunting ambiance.

The lighthouse was partially buried by a volcanic eruption in 1957-1958, not too long ago, and the pure lava and ash have remained almost untouched.
