The migrating dune is located between Hirtshals and Hanstholm in Denmark. The lighthouse is slowly being swallowed by it, with the North Sea visible in the background. May 2008 (go to image) 

Hello Christian,
an impressive shot. How should one imagine the swallowing of the lighthouse? Does it slowly sink into the sand, similar to a bog?
Best regards, Christine

Hi Christine,

thanks for the nice comment :)
In this case, "swallowing" means that the dune keeps advancing and covering it with sand, although this will not happen all the way up to the top of the tower. The tower is probably already about 50% buried in sand. Since this is a migrating dune, it is possible that as it continues to move, the tower will eventually stand completely free again. The houses that stood around the tower are already completely covered with sand and destroyed.

Regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
thank you very much for the detailed response. When you see this photo, you can only vaguely imagine the houses that have disappeared.
Best regards, Christine

Hi,

thanks for your comments :)
True, the houses are hard to see, I will try to publish some detail shots in the next few days where this will be more visible

Regards
Christian
