You know I'm a sucker for a Lighthouse piccy.

That would be Whitefish Point Light. Did you know Michigan has 128 Lighthouses.

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they say, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early."

That's it of course. Amongst the 29 was a kid I'd grown up with ... you're up sir!

That's sad. I have more than one aquantance who have been lost. At least they will never forget the Edmund Fitzgerald

How about this pair.....

Ugh! How did we get back to lighthouses again!!

My fault , Sal's boating shot and/or coverage of local memorial ceremonies reminded me of the Fitz, but I was lacking a picture of it ..

The lights shown are on Ile Vierge, Brittany ..

’Île Vierge of course. The 4 th tallest in the World I believe. Has a range over 50 miles.

Here is not a lighthouse, there are two churches pictured, name both or the city that they look out over ..

They are both "La Basílica de Guadalupe" The old and the new in Mexico City.

That must have been too easy .. twin churches following twin lighthouses .. you are up again

How about twin clock towers. We should have been here last month.

Munich is the correct answer.

It is the Frauenkirche (Cathedral of Our Lady)

You are up.

If that star lights up, does it qualify as a Lighthouse

There are lightbulbs around the star, but I never saw the star illuminated personally. Anyhoo, I've been thinking this one may be a bit tough. I selected it because I have lived briefly in the place in question. So a few clues I would like to offer are; it is in Russia, and, it is a Soviet war memorial not a lighthouse.

Leningrad ? Whoops, I mean St. Petersberg ?

No sorry. More clues are that it is not located very near to either what is now Saint Petersburg or Moscow. I can tell you that it is near a city, but one of Russia's lesser known ones. I can also tell you that it is located in the European part of Russia. It commemorates a significant, but lesser known offensive battle, undertaken by the Soviet Army.

Volgograd?
