Questions about the subject, usage, technology & more

When was the Kołobrzeg lighthouse built and how tall is it?

The Kołobrzeg lighthouse was built in 1887 and stands approximately 26 meters tall.

The tower is still an active navigational aid and features a public observation deck open to visitors.

What mood does this photo convey?

The overcast sky and diffused light give the image a calm, matter-of-fact atmosphere without dramatic emphasis.
