Norwegian Seascape

When the daylight fades and the shadows fall Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me… And the sun sinks low in a troubled sea Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me And the night winds blow and the rain falls free Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me.

Fjøløy Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Rennesøy in Rogaland county, Norway. The lighthouse sits on the island of Fjøløy, along the Boknafjorden. It is owned by the Norwegian Coastal Administration. The lighthouse was first built in 1849, but it has been replaced twice since that time.
