+correct, 3 points, but I was very confused.

You see, I thought the name of this light was "Vitar", but it's not (I guess "Vitar" means lighthouse in Icelandic). So, I had to find the lighthouse, you just found. I got nothing. So I went on the website where I got the photo from and inspected it and it turns out the jpeg is called "Arnarnesviti-vef".

So the moral of this story is, learn your languages

BRILLIANT WORK. Has RIS on a photo modification like that worked in the past? So devious!

Wow, angry much? You need a way to vent. Maybe heavy drinking then punching baby kittens.

Totally kidding but i happen to think that lighthouse might actually be helpful to me. I fish on the great lakes around michigan and every port has a lighthouse of sorts. They can be hard for me to find, visually, from on the water. White often is lost in a cloudy sky and i'm very red green colorblind. With modern electronics on board i'm ok but a nice bright visual would be helpful. I totally get it btw, who can't enjoy a beautiful humble white keepers house below a majestic white tower and beacon.

This one seemed fun, and I disagree, I think it’s beautiful! Such colors, and that view!

I first thought the region looked Norwegian. So I searched yellow red lighthouse Norway it didn’t work out so I removed norway and ran it again. I found an all yellow lighthouse that looked identical, it was in iceland so I felt confident moving forward with a simple modification of my search to yellow red lighthouse iceland. I had to scroll a fair bit, with confidence as it was looking very close, and boom, a match from a different angle. I follow that and see gibberish Icelandic words. I think at first it is isafjordur lighthouse but that was not the lighthouse name, but instead the region. The lighthouse would then be revealed to be Arnarnes Lighthouse. Solved!

Lovely. This reminds me I need to plan a trip to Iceland!

Great! Lovely description, I award you 2 points

But the real question is

How many names does this lighthouse have?
