Turns out, it had just been moved to the California coast.

For those who live elsewhere, the weather was absolutely spectacular!!!

I think I ended up photographing 7 lighthouses during the day on Sunday, a total of probably 350+ images shot at focal lengths that ranged from a 10.5 mm fisheye to a monstrous 1500 mm When I have time, I'll post some of them...

It looks like Suffolk has 16 surviving lighthouses, according to: http://www.scroope.net/lighthouses/longisland.htm

The 9 lighthouse sites quoted are just the ones that are part of the challenge. Thanks Rich, I might have to pass because the weather isn't looking too promising tomorrow.

The folks in Door County, Wisconsin will definitely take exception to Suffolk County's claim of the most lighthouses, as Door County has 10 within the confines of the county

Having seen/photogrpahed all of the lights in Door County and all but a few of those that are part of the LI Lighthouse Challenge, I think DC gets my personal vote for America's Lighthouse County irrespective of what Suffolk county may wish to claim.
