RE: Mauritius - The home of the lighthouse keeper at Albion Lighthouse

in Worldmappin3 years ago (edited)

The house is such a contrast to the well maintained lighthouse which is open to visitors (tourists).

That abandoned house could be a home for a family (or for any other people). I would gladly live there. I am a licensed amateur radio operator, and I would regularly go up to the lighthouse to make special radio contacts with the /LH suffix.

By the way, there are no lighthouses in my country (in Hungary). I have not visited any lighthouses so far.

Sort:  

When I walked arojnd the house, I did imagine that it has been a home of a family. The porch has a great view of the southern coast. Must have been lovely to sit there. The lighthouse certainly would be an intresting place for you when you are a radia operator. The coasts all around in the world has lots of them. Even though, I do think most are automated. Still there is something about them. I think it's the thought of them being a such a helpful guide for ships. Their light in a dark and stormy night, is precious to ships pasing.
