A few weeks back I had a day off so I decided to head north to take some pictures of the fall color. I ended up on the north shore of Lake Superior so I decided to head over to the Split Rock Lighthouse to take some pics. Now I know that many of you come to this blog because you love nature, like I do, but I have always had a fascination with lighthouses so when ever I get a chance I like to stop up at Split Rock.
These two pics where shot from different angles. The first pic was taken from below, down by the lake. The shot above was taken from one of the neighboring bluffs.
Imagine what life was like for the lighthouse crew back before there were roads in the area. People as well as supplies traveled to the lighthouse via boat across the lake and then had to be hoisted up the cliff face. With my fear of heights I probably would not have made any visits back then.

This is spectacular! I have not seen a picture of this lighthouse before. What a great angle!
Beautiful shots. I love pictures of lighthouse although I have never seen one myself. Helen
Those are great shots of the lighthouse.
A beautiful lighthouse. Interesting to see it from two very different angles.
I have a "thing" about lighthouses, too, and this one is fabulous! Also like you, I'm not sure I would have wanted to be hoisted up the face of that cliff!! Fantastic shots!!
Have a great week!

I have always adored lighthouses! Thanks for these wonderful views.
What a spectacular setting for a lighthouse.
Very picturesque!
WOW, your photos of the lighthouse and the bluff are wodnerful. I would love to be standing there.
It always amazes me how they build lighthouses so close to a cliff, Nice scene
this one is really a nice lighthouse. the color of it is nice in the eyes. simple but elegant for me
I have always been fascinated with lighthouses and It will be great to be able to stay in places like these! ...
That is very pretty. I like the colors and how subdued they seem to be.
I enjoyed your photos and the story behind them. I would not care to be at the edge of that cliff, either.
