Description: Within Blender I placed light sources on top of all the lighthouse points data to create a map with glow and shadow across the 3d surface model. Check out other examples on my [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/visualwallmaps)
The lighthouses really far inland are intriguing to me
Hawaii has no lighthouses
We clearly need more light houses in the great plains
…What’s up with the splotch of reflection south of lake Tahoe?
It’s crazy we don’t have any lighthouse on the north or south end of the country. How are people supposed to make it to America without a lighthouse leading the way?
No lighthouse in Nebraska?
We need more inland light houses
Why aren’t there any lighthouses on the northern and southern border?
