This way to safety

Waves lash the Tourlitis lighthouse off the Aegean island of Andros Thursday amid strong winds. Built in 1887, the lighthouse, which sits atop a spindly rock spire, is known as Greece’s first automated lighthouse which could function without a keeper. Following its destruction during World War Two, it was rebuilt in 1994 with funding from the Goulandris family. Strong winds last night led to a temporary ban on ferries leaving the ports of Piraeus and Rafina. Strong northerly winds are forecast for much of the country over the long weekend too.    Photo by Petros Giannakouris/AP

Parece el resultado de un prompt hecho por el estudio Ghibli, pero no, no es IA, es real.

El faro de Tourlitis​ está en la bahía del puerto de la ciudad de Andros. La isla más septentrional del archipiélago de las Cícladas.

Se construyó en 1897, posteriormente fue destruido por los alemanes en la guerra y finalmente Alexandros y Marietta Goulandris lo reconstruyeron en 1994, fiel al original, en memoria de su difunta hija Violanto.
