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...
Cheboygan Crib - This light, built in 1884, originally sat offshore upon a wooden crib. The light itself was fully automated in 1929. By the 1980's the lighthouse had developed an alarming list. The Coast Guard had plans to dynamite the structure but, in 1984, a local preservation group arranged to have the tower moved from the crib onshore to its present location along the breakwall.
