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...
Tawas Point - The present Tawas Point light is the second one erected on the shifting sands of Tawas Point. The first station, erected in 1852, lasted only 20 years before the point had grown away from the light to a distance that made the light useless. This light entered service in 1876. Originally the light was all but surrounded by water but now it stands over a mile from the tip of Tawas Point. The light is located in Tawas Point State Park.
