Calais

On the misty background: the metallic “Phare de Walde” (1859), an abandoned lighthouse, ‘lost’ on the beach between Gravelines and Calais. The lantern was destroyed by an explosion in 1953. The Phare de Walde materializes the boundary between the North Sea and the (English) Channel. #OpalCoast  #BeachTips  #LocalSecrets  #History
