Three views of Malaga lighthouse

A trio of pictures of the lighthouse at the port of Malaga. The fist was shot on Kodak Gold (and had turned out quite grainy for some reason), the latter two on Kodak Colorplus.

Lighthouse

The lighthouse is named La Farola, a unique name as most Spanish lighthouses are called El Faro, using the usual maculine gender. El Faro translated to “the lighthouse”, although Google Translate seems to think “La Farola” translates to “the streetlight” – not sure if there’s a lost-in-translation thing going on there…

Golden hour lighthouse

It was originally built in 1817, but has been modified several times since then, including to repair damage suffered during the Spanish Civil War. I believe you can enter the building and enjoy the views from the top, although we didn’t while we were there.

Illumination

Nikon F80, Nikkor 28-80mm f.3.5-5.6 AF-D & Kodak Gold and Kodak Colorplus . Lab developed. Home scanned and converted with Negative Lab Pro

Taken 18 and 19 August 2023.
