Anybody have a light?
I wonder if this thing runs on a 60 watt?
Does this remind anyone else of a foghorn? How about Foghorn Leghorn?
I say, I say I need a nap. Or more caffeine. Or both. Can you tell?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot… this is Point Betsie, in Frankfort Michigan. Yup.

Michigan you say? Looks far closer to my side of the country.. Lovely!
Thanks very much, Dishy!
Yeah, I was only there once, but Annabelle went all the time when she was growing up… she absolutely loves it there! 🙂
I can’t wait for this summer!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to get to go back! To say it’s my favorite place I’ve been would be an understatement.
I don’t believe it.
🙂
I wonder if lighthouses will have to switch to CFLs??
Hahaha…
Wouldn’t it be great if they came in giant spiral shapes?
I must be tired. My first thought after reading CFL was ‘Canadian Football League’.
🙂
It would look like a MASSIVE ice cream cone.
Hahaha…
and it would probably taste like Windex…
🙂
It looks like a cold gloomy day there. Another great photo Robert. I never tire of looking at your work. Always a pleasure to come here.
It was a bit chilly, if I remember correctly (anything that happens more than a few days ago seems to escape the power of my memory)!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Tony – I really appreciate that! 🙂
I like the perspective here, SIG.
Thank you, S.E. – another example of my rolling around on the ground and looking a bit odd…
🙂
June 81′ uh? I guess you started early…it shows. Nicely done.
Hahaha…
yeah, those dates are almost always complete B.S.
That’s just how I roll.
Thank you, Mr. J!
🙂
Nice shot of the Lighthouse. I haven’t seen one in years. Also, the other day, I was trying to get a roll of ilford, which took me 3 years to finish, developed. The shop I usually go to said, they do not develop b+w anymore. They do not have the chemicals to handle this service anymore. Luckily, the other shop still does. I do not even remember anymore what pictures I took in the old Ilford roll!
Thank you, sir!
I’ve forgotten what was on the first half of a roll before, too… although it probably took me more like 3 weeks than 3 years to forget (my memory is bad like that)! 🙂
Honey, how many times have I told you not to leave the friggin light on. There goes another retina 😦
That’s why I wear my sunglasses at night.
Or… something like that.
🙂
Ooooooooo so pretty! Beautiful and serene! It makes me want to run and dive into the waves! Though for some reason every time I visit Point Betsie it’s a stormy chilly day… not the best for swimming with all those waves on the breakers. Maybe our trip this summer will give us some better weather. I can’t wait!
Chance of rain: 90%
🙂
That does seem to be our luck! 😛
Nice perspective on the lighthouse. Either you were very low, or the lighthouse was knee high to a grass stalk.
Hahaha…
I guess sand doesn’t always make for a good building foundation!
🙂
I would hate to be the one to have to change that bulb.
Immagine climbing uo all the stairs on ly to get to the top and drop the light bulb. That would just suck.
Hahaha…
What? No elevator? I’m not volunteering for that job, either! 🙂
I want to go there
It’s a pretty cool place, N.M. – I think you would enjoy it…
(it’s not too far from Chicago, either)
🙂
I wish I had something clever to write other than, ‘fantastic perspective!’ 🙂
I’ll happily take that, M.P. – thank you!
🙂
Have you seen these “Pure Michigan” commercials begging you to be a tourist there? They show, like, a car and a train and call it the nation’s best historic spot or something. I WILL NOT BE FOOLED! But Betsie, she’s a lovely lady.
I think I have seen those…
they do sound familiar, anyway. It’s funny how many commercials stick in my memory, yet I have such a difficult time remembering what it is I need from the grocery store!
🙂
whenever i see a photo of a lighthouse, i immediately think of the movie “The Fog” with Adrienne Barbeaux.
Hmmm… now I’m curious…
I’m going to have to do some Google-ing!
🙂
Love…
Thank you very much, RNP!
