Bornrif Lighthouse

Bornrif Lighthouse, standing tall since 1880 in Hollum on Ameland Island, Netherlands, offers photo-travelers a striking subject. Its red and white bands make it visually appealing against the North Sea backdrop. Originally 55 meters in height, though access to the inside is restricted, the surrounding landscape offers excellent photo opportunities, especially during sunset or sunrise when the light plays dramatically. Nearby, traditional Dutch landscapes and the quaint village of Hollum provide a vivid contrast to the lighthouse's nautical charm. Best shots can be captured from the west during sunset when the lighthouse is backlit, creating a silhouette effect, or from the east at sunrise for a warm glow on its face. Note the beach and dunes nearby offer additional scenic views, enhancing the nautical theme of your photography journey.
