I love the comment about a similar hobby website that was posted a few weeks ago (the one about the gates of Hell found all over England [1]) saying that it's part of the British culture to become obsessed with quirky and frankly underwhelming hobbies. I adore stuff like this, I think it's nerdy and a bit daft yet the world is much richer thanks to gentlemen like these. This is what the Internet is about, let's not lose our founding culture. --- 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39356066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39356066

For a number of years, I toyed with building a site about US lighthouses with maps. Then I discovered this guy's site who has visited every one with photos, maps, and descriptions. I decided I'd find another project :-) https://www.lighthousefriends.com/index.html https://www.lighthousefriends.com/index.html I love all the essentially remnants of the old Internet that obsessively chronicle some niche thing.
