Nice ligthhouse but we have a disagreement about "most photgraphed"
http://www.hecetalighthouse.com/" Oregon's Hecta Head Ligthhouse is in running for this honor.

Could be! It seems like every popular lighthouse is touted as the "most photographed lighthouse" :biggrin:
(Tourism departments love subjective and unverifiable superlative claims!)

Regardless of which actually holds the honor (if either), one thing is undeniable: both are beautiful lighthouses!

How do you suppose one would actually measure something like "most photographed"?

Hecta Head is visible from Highway 101 without haveing to even stop, so there are a lot of people driving by every day of the year. But who can even guess at how many take a pic?
