La lumière de Casablanca
Posted by Mhélène (Paris, France) on 27 December 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Le phare d'El Hank
Dessiné par Albert Laprade en 1916 et mis en service en août 1920.
La couronne en haut reprend des motifs des anciens minarets du Maroc.
Il éclaire en 3 éclats ,à 61m au-dessus de l'océan avec une portée de 55km.
La mer est très dangereuse autour de Casablanca et il y a parfois du brouillard..
El Hank lighthouse was created by Albert Laprade in 1916 and first lighted in August, 1920. The crown at the top resumes motives for the former morocco minarets
It shines in 3 brightness, 61m over the ocean with a reach of 55km.
The sea is very dangerous around Casablanca and sometimes there is fog.

This is a beautiful lighthouse, and nothing we would see here in the United States.
It is well designed for the area and you composed the shot very well!
