A big Thank You to all of you who took the time to cast your vote and, in some cases, explain your choice. We always love your comments.

Surprisingly, nearly all our Top 10 picks received at least one vote. Our shot of the Coquille River Lighthouse, #9, remained a lonely outpost without so much as a mention.
