Tarkhankutskyi Lighthouse from Ukraine

 

Situated on Crimea's west, the Tarkhankutsky peninsula is the least populated area. The main attraction of Trakhankut Cape is the old white lighthouse, built in 1816. It stands at the western corner of the diamond-shaped Crimean peninsula, a dangerous headland that sailors called "Chortovim Misom" (Devil's Cape). In October 2010 Ukranian Post has issued a minisheet to celebrate the Lighthouses of Ukraine, of which the stamp used on the two cards is part of. Both cards represent the same building by night and by day.
