on our drive to illinois, we detoured to holland, michigan where there is a replica of a dutch windmill and little dutch village in a park. but the real intent was to see the Holland Harbor Light known as Big Red, which is located in Ottawa County, Michigan at the entrance of a channel connecting Lake Michigan with Lake Macatawa, and which gives access to the city of Holland, Michigan.

i love lighthouses and i wanted to see and shoot this in person. there are so many lighthouses around the coasts of michigan and i will make it a personal project to visit most if not all of them, along with the canadian maritime's lighthouses. this should be my starting point.
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated. my internet connections in these hotels are so not to my liking - terribly sporadic - so you must forgive me for not getting to yours until i come back home next week and start catching up.
for my friend @kali66 who also shot a sheriff and glad to be spending time together in the slammer for doing so!
Hey!!! I shot this lighthouse, too! Love the light you caught! Glad you saw the dutch village park, too. The boy thought that was the best! See you later!
such depth of color and tone, wonderful capture. sounds like you are having quite the adventure. enjoy and thank you for sharing with us so we can enjoy, also.
I love lighthouses...This is a beaut....Ours are far more practical than decorative but I;ll be able to take you visit 4 of them when you come to visit
I love the light on this. As a teenager, I went to this town with my mother once to visit a Dutch lady who had been Paul Harvey's (radio personality) housekeeper for umpteen years but then retired to Holland, MI.
This is fabulous!! I love lighthouses, too, and if it wasn't for the piers here I would be totally heartbroken that there are no lighthouses to shoot in the vicinity! I might have to wait till I get to the eastern shores to do a series on lighthouses, and who knows maybe we will connect on that venture!! FAV on this red beauty!!
