Beep Boop@dominicstucki @terence can I have a print but of a different region? ๐
@salakala @dominicstucki Sure, which region would you like to see?
@terence @dominicstucki EE coastline, in the Baltic sea, please.
@salakala Will be a nice challenge. Let me see what I can do
HEROBRINE7GAMER@terence Nice! What is the number, though? and where did you get the data from?
@herobrine7gamer Thanks! I got the data from OpenStreetMap, and it shows 285 lighthouses.
Attie Grande@terence This is beautiful! Well done ๐
Terence Eden@terence That's gorgeous!
Also, hello fellow Terence! Shall we start a club?
Weird 2 - Electric Boogaloo@terence I wanted to visit that circled one (Cape Wrath), last year, but missed the only ferry on that day. :(

penguin42@terence Pretty! wth is that one somewhere near Worcester?
@terence Ah, in a separate thread @Helenmackin identified it as Hanbury Wharf lighthouse on the Canal: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2843482
Worcester & Birmingham Canal - Hanbury Wharf

@terence @yuvipanda this is really excellent!
GJ Groothedde ๐ช๐บ@terence Very nice indeed!
Tom Wardill@terence @solderandchaos that looks lovely!
Theo Honohan@terence Since all lighthouses on the island of Ireland are operated by the same cross-border authority (the Commissioners of Irish Lights) this feels a bit territorial and contrived. It would be natural to show all of the lighthouses of the three General Lighthouse Authorities instead of going by national borders.
Xandie6@theohonohan Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I wasn't aware of this and agree it makes more sense. I'm considering either doing Ireland or the British Isles, if I can merge the data properly.
See+MapI like this one
https://beacons.schmirler.de/world.html#map=5/55.000122859513674/-2.785376423448691
Best is if you zoom in
@SeeandMap This is very cool!

Affienia@terence huh, thanks to this I just learned there is a tiny lighthouse very near my childhood town. Where one of my family lived and I spent a lot of time as a kid in fact. Was not aware of it at all. Very cool.
acm@terence wonderful effect! great idea.
what is the circle in the middle?
@acm_redfox That's my little watermark. ๐
@terence ๐คฃ I forgot to use my jeweler's loop! ๐
Jan de Muijnck-Hughes@terence nice, although there should be one at Dunnet ahead, unless the co-ordinates from your source data are a bit off and itโs one of the dots in the Pentland firth.
Again. Nice.
David Rickard (Moved)@terence there's inland lighthouses?! On rivers I presume?
Book@terence This is 15 and a half flavours of gorgeous.
TaBuckton@terence Brilliant!
David Blodgett@terence loling at only Northern Ireland being included.
rodrigoplp@terence So beautiful! It's like Christmas decoration.
A pity Ireland is almost all sunk, though. They should have built more lighthouses, I guess.

@rodrigoplp Thanks! There are lighthouses in Ireland. I should have included themโan oversight on my part.

@terence The island of Ireland seems to be oddly shaped.
(Might want to remove the UK limit.)

Ali@terence Beautiful dataviz.
Ravi Sambamurthy@terence Cool. Would be nice to view this as an interactive map, where hovering on each bright spot could open up a box containing details (place name and other stats), slideshow of photos, etc.
Ellie@terence fractals are coolest when presented all glowy like this. ๐ฅฐ
Alex@terence could you do The British Isles (so, include the remainder of the Island of Ireland)
Hans Gerwitz@terence if the workflow is easy to reproduce, I'd love to see the Netherlands. (I suspect continental Europe would be too "zoomed out" to be meaningful.)
Scott Oldfield 
@terence Looks REALLY cool! But where's the Isle of Man?
EDIT: Just remembered that technically the Isle of Man is not the UK.
ianames@terence this is very cool and I hate to point it out, but I think your missing Trevose Head in Cornwall? https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses-and-lightvessels/trevose-head
Callum Snowden@terence love this ๐ would you be willing to offer a version of this big enough to print? My partner spent some time working for Trinity House and it'd be a really cool thing to give him!
Andrew Porter@terence if you send Christmas cards that would make a lovely image!
PlanteX@terence Wonderful. Does something like this exist for France ? I would be dark on the east border but nice as well.
Mx Autumn 
@terence wow, that is very awesome! 
I'm now intregued as to where the inland lighthouses are.
Lightning Bjornsson* 
@terence What's the story of the inland lighthouses? Riparian?
John Faithfull๐๐ช๐บ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐งก โ๐ผโ๐ฟ@terence Nice. But are the positions of Dhu Artach and Skerryvore a bit ๐ค๐?
Dragons8mycat@terence
This is awesome, love the concept of using firefly type effect for the locations!
...but you may do well to use a more up to date map of the UK, the Isle of Man appears to be missing ;)

Oliver Mantell@Nickiquote This (โฌ๏ธ ) appeared directly below your post about the โislandโ of NI: looks like those coasts are dangerous, with no lighthouses to be seenโฆ ;o)
Jennifer@terence that's really nice!!
felface@terence this is amazing but why is there a lighthouse on the Welsh border in the middle of the country
Anthony Cowley@terence Beautiful visualization! Reminds of the descriptions of sailing along the coast from Arthur Ransome's novel Peter Duck.
๐ต holly@terence This is gorgeous!
thetamrat@terence great work!
lawrencegripper@terence do you have a high res version or print I can buy, this is gorgeous
Jรถrg Henne@terence the Portland Bill Lighthouse seems to be missing.
Mike Johnston@terence Thatโs very cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.
