Description

This winter image captures a windy, cold day at St. Joseph, Michigan. The two pier lights (only one visible), which are one of the few remaining pier range light systems on the Great Lakes, are still in operation. The inner light (shown here) is a two-story, steel-sided structure with a red hip roof. An octagonal tower rises an additional two stories above the house and is topped by a black iron parapet and walkway. A catwalk extends over 300 yards from shore to the second story of the lighthouse. Catwalks were built so that lighthouse keepers could access the lights when the lake was rough and the waves were crashing over the pier making it too slippery to walk on, as on the day the image was captured. The crashing waves create a white curtain of ice on the railing.
