I am continually drawn to this lighthouse. Each time I visit "home", I try to make a trip to the waterfront and pay my respects. On this day, I had a wide angle lens and while the lighthouse is visible as a blip on the horizon, the soft hues of the sky speak as to why I love this spot. Even with all the people around, some fishing, walking their dogs, taking out their boats or just out for an evening stroll, it is still a peaceful place. I'm sure many people have special places they like to visit over and over (not just Starbucks——that's another entry for another time).There are places of extreme beauty, where the overwhelming sense of nature flows all around, a tangible expression of peace and energy to those open to the experience. While the waterfront along the shores of Lake Erie in Lorain doesn't necessarily qualify as beautiful, I still find myself there to find that peaceful easy feeling, with a lighthouse, wide expanse of water and sky meeting along the horizon blending into eternity.

I have to make the great lakes a visit one day in my life just to shoot all the lighthouses over there.
I've taken so many photos of this lighthouse through the years, many of which you saw on PT. Hope to see some more of your lighthouse photos. Someday, I'll have to travel more of the Atlantic seaboard to visit more lighthouses. :)
