Ulla Fyr (Ulla Lighthouse)

Ulla Fyr is a small white lighthouse with a tiny pop of red at the top sitting on a rocky outcrop along Norway's Sunnmøre coast. The original lighthouse was destroyed by Allied bombing in October 1944 and rebuilt in 1950. The tower is still operational today and the site is a protected cultural heritage property. The area is remote and windswept, which is exactly what makes it so photogenic. The coastline here is rugged, with dark rock, rich green moss, open ocean, and nothing between you and the horizon. Sunset over the Norwegian Sea from this spot can be spectacular, especially in summer when the light lingers. Nearby, Ullanausta is a row of nine historic boathouses along the shore, the oldest dating to around 1650, all under cultural protection. They add real character and make a strong subject on their own or paired with the lighthouse. The old lighthouse station buildings are available to rent if you want to stay overnight and shoot sunrise, sunset and the night sky all from the same location. (Haramsøya, Møre og Romsdal, Norway)
