Lighthouses of the world

There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

On of my favorite lighthouses I visited so years ago. It had one of finest fog horns in the area.

How many lighthouses does Colorado have? We actually have ONE lighthouse in Colorado! Not only do we have one, but at 9,017 ft above sea level the lighthouse at the marina on Dillon Reservoir in Frisco is the highest lighthouse in the United States!
