Tom Haxby captured this image in August of 2004 at sunrise when a beam of sunshine briefly illuminated the grasses in front of the lighthouse. This lighthouse is at the point of the Old Mission Peninsula just north of Traverse City, Michigan at 45 degrees latitude – halfway to the North Pole.

“I don’t really know why I am drawn to the stones I find along the edge of the surf. I know that I’m attracted to the textures, contours, and colors. It probably isn’t necessary to articulate the pleasure even a small child experiences when finding a pretty rock.” ~ Steven Huyser-Honig

“A warm summer evening at the Little Sable Lighthouse. At the time I photographed this, it was my first visit to the area, and I was impressed how tall the remaining portion of the lighthouse is. Built about 1874, it must be one heck of a strong structure to withstand 125+ years of Lake Michigan storms!” ~ Stacy Niedzwiecki

“Just after my dad and I finished giving a photo talk to over 30 people at Little Sable Point Lighthouse tonight, the sun broke out below the thick cloud layer and lit up the sky and waters of Lake Michigan like the 4th of July fireworks. It was an impressive light show that lasted for several minutes.” ~ Brad Reed
