The Leaning Kiipsaare Lighthouse

The Kiipsaare Lighthouse on the Harilaid peninsula of Saaremaa island, Estonia, watches silently over the Baltic. The lighthouse was built at the tip of the peninsula in 1933. At that time the lighthouse was almost 100 metres (330 ft) inland, but it is now a few metres offshore. It is now unused, and has a pronounced lean as a result of erosion.
