A collection of lighthouses, mostly from northern Lower Michigan, during the season of ice. I enjoy visiting lights during winter, its a whole different kind of beauty. During the winter I get a better sense of how isolated and extreme life must have been at these remote outposts...
Alpena North Breakwater - This light is the third such structure built at this location. It was built in 1914, housed a 4th-Order lens and was originally colored black. In the mid-50's it recieved its present red paint job and lost its original Fresnel lens for a more modern light.
