Galle LightHouse, SriLanka 斯里蘭卡, 加勒燈塔 -- DJI Mavic2Pro

This is Sri Lanka’s oldest light station dating back to 1848, but the original (80 ft) lighthouse built by the British was located about 100 metres (330 ft) from the current site; however, it was destroyed by fire in 1934. The existing (87 ft) lighthouse was erected here in 1939. The original light was furnished with a glass prism lens floating in a bath of mercury (to reduce friction) and was powered by a weight driven machine.
