Lighthouses - South Haven and Holland

3/23/2015

When I headed home today, I decided to stop by a couple of lighthouses on Lake Michigan that were not too far out of the way. The first was the lighthouse at South Haven. It was snowing while I was there, so the photos did not come out as well as the ones from St. Joseph.

Great weather for ducks and lighthouses
The next lighthouse was in Holland, home of the Tulip Festival. No tulips in sight today. The snow stopped by the time I reached Holland, but it was still overcast. 

It took longer to get the photos than I had planned. My GPS tried to take me there, but I could only follow the directions so far. It turns out the lighthouse is in a gated community. It is accessible by foot two days a week. (Not today) I had to drive around Lake Macatawa to get to Holland State Park on the other side of the inlet. At least it gave me more than one perspective.

Thanks for stopping by.
