BETSIE POINT LIGHTHOUSE - MICHIGAN

Betsie Point Lighthouse is north of Frankfurt, MI and is know as the most photographed lighthouse in the U.S.  It is quite beautiful and looks out Westward to the emerald waters of Lake Michigan.

Walter along side the lighthouse, and below the beautiful Lake Michigan shore in the western Michigan can be seen behind me.  Strong stormy seas break in front of the lighthouse and push up the concrete bulwark through the cemented concrete blocks that break up the force of the water before it reaches the lighthouse and light tower.

This is one of the many breakers they use to try and stop the 10-20 foot waves so common in the winter.
