Crashing Lighthouse Wave

Crashing Wave – View inGallery

Braving the cold, snow, and errant waves, I captured this shot of a Lighthouse in Michigan. I’ve rarely seen such a lighthouse wave.

I took this photo yesterday, at one point it started snowing and visibility was only about 50 feet and I couldn’t see the lighthouse, but then the sun came out and I was able to capture this scene.

Weather can change on a dime on Lake Michigan!
