The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is located along northern Denmark's
North Sea Coast. Once used to support security in the region, it
was first lit in December of 1900. The structure was
deliberately built on the slope's uppermost point, precisely 60
meters above the sea level and approximately 200 meters inland.
While the erosion could not have been predicted then, these
pictures reveal that due to environmental occurrences, it has
become dilapidated. The Denmark landmark is now buried beneath
heaps of sand. The passing of decades came with the movement of
the sea, bringing the waters closer and closer to the Rubjerg
Knude Lighthouse. This movement of the sea was naturally
accompanied by heaps of sand, which began to pile up around the
base. While efforts were made to remove the sand, it was
eventually abandoned. These images reveal what has come of this
abandonment, demonstrating the transience of human construction.
