Michigan Lighthouse Sampler

There are myriad lighthouses all along the shores of Lake Michigan.

There are myriad lighthouses all along the shores of Lake Michigan.
Vacationing in Michigan I’ve managed to see and photograph a few lighthouses. I’ll post more when I return home and can use my main computer for post processing.

Here are two lights at the entrance to the Saint Joseph River on the eastern side of Lake Michigan.

Here is the Pierhead Lighthouse at Michigan City, Indiana at the southeast end of Lake Michigan.

Indiana Vintage Sinclair Gasoline Station

While vacationing in Michigan we found this vintage gas station by the side of the road in the very north of Indiana – only a few miles from the Lake Michigan lake house where we are staying. Of course there were a couple of classic automobiles there, too.

Pride of Baltimore II at the Francis Scott Key Bridge

A nautical scene shot from the seawall at Fort McHenry

The historical replica ship, the Pride of Baltimore II, is seen under sail at the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The location of Pride II is close to where Francis Scott Key, the lawyer, was held captive on a British Ship during the Battle of Baltimore of September 12-14, 1814, one of the culminating battles of the War of 1812.

It was in the morning of the last day following the night of bombardment when Key say the American Flag flying in the dawn’s early light. He then penned the words of the poem that would later become our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.
