Wow..... this makes the lighthouse look very fragile. Or stubborn.
Excellent capture and conversion.

Very nice! It almost makes the light look like a model. What light is it?

Amazing to think this is a lake, in comparison to English lakes that is...

Certainly nothing compares to the power of water. I love the B&W conversion of this one with the fantastic light of the water and the lighthouse.

David, Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world so it would look big compared to any lake and likely some oceans.

Thanks all.

Lake Superior is quite awesome. A favorite story of Superior is of a Norwegian cargo ship captain taking his ship through the Sault locks, going into Lake Superior. take this with a grain of "story', probably based in fact but, well, that's the beauty of stories.

Anyway - the lock keeper (or whatever the technical term is) told the captain he should hold up in Whitefish Bay for a few days, enough time for a storm to pass. The ship captain's response was something to the effect of "<expletive> that, it's only a lake!" and continued on across the lake.

When the captain came back through the locks a couple days later the lock keeper saw a truly changed man - someone who had no sleep for a week and was run haggard fighting the lake. The captain said, so the story goes, the seas were worse than anything the ocean had thrown at him.

As to the light - Mclain State Park Lighthouse, north entry of the Keweenaw waterway.

Feel free to post photos of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee

Ah yes, Gitche Gumee, my favorite lake. A wonderful take on its many faces. I have seen it as still as a mirror in the summer.

Excellent photo.

It does really show the power of the lake. I have spent a lot of time on the North Shore of the lake and it can change from being the most calm and tranquil place to the most brutal and scary place overnight. Any photographer who has not taken a trip to the big lake should plan to do so in her/his lifetime.
