A couple of weekends ago Michelle and I headed up north to take a look at the fall color. The North Shore, of Lake Superior, offers amazing scenery all year long but it can be absolutely breathtaking in the fall.
One place that we stopped on our trip was the Split Rock Lighthouse. The Split Rock Lighthouse is an icon. It has been photographed by people from around the world and it has been featured in many magazine and web articles, including here were I have featured it in several posts earlier this year.
This year is the 100
th birthday of the lighthouse so it is getting even more attention then normal. I was happy to have the opportunity to photograph the lighthouse from
Ellingson Island. I think that it is the best view of the lighthouse except possibly from a boat. The island is closed for most of the spring and summer to allow the wildlife to reproduce with out
interference.
