    A beautiful photo. That calm sea invites you to forget about the outside world.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Good point! Let’s do that. Thank you for chiming in.

    Truly Wonderful – I wonder how it is there during the Fall Season. I bet it’s beautiful. I need to make it out there one year.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      It’s probably a bit chilly, but as you say, Willie, beautiful.

      1. Willie Torres Jr.

        If they decorated it properly, it’ll probably look like one of those Hallmark movie towns.. (Hahaha)

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          It already does, Willie.

  7. The Introverted Bookworm

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Ada. How are you, my friend?

      1. The Introverted Bookworm

        Hello dear Mary, I am good thanks. The weather has taken a turn here in Scotland and is now quite chilly and dark, but I’m enjoying the autumn (my favorite season!). Hope things are going well with you and your weekend is a peaceful one xxx

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          Well, then, may your favorite season be the best one yet, Ada.

  8. Nancy Homlitas

    The flag discloses a strong breeze over the water-just right for sailing! Great pic, Mary. 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Nancy. Hugs to you this beautiful Friday.

  9. KC

    I love lighthouses!

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, KC. I think lighthouses have a following. Maybe it’s the symbol of a light in the darkness. Thank you for commenting.

  10. Indira

    Good to see this old structure, Mary.

  13. luisa zambrotta

    Really breathtaking 💙💙💙

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Luisa. This lighthouse is a little different than the norm.

      1. luisa zambrotta

        I found it so beautiful! 💗

  14. festo_sanjo

    Great shot, Mary.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

  15. Drops of Ink

    Lighthouses are one of my very favorite things! Lovely picture, Mary! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Phoebe. Why are lighthouses your favorite? There are so many people drawn to them.

      1. Drops of Ink

        To me they’re like a reminder that beauty can exist even in the most turbulent places. There’s a certain magic in their solitude, standing tall against the crashing waves and relentless storms. They feel like symbols of hope and safety, guiding lost souls to shore… if that makes sense and I’m not just rambling lol

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          That is so beautifully said, Phoebe. I think you have a poem there! Have the very best weekend, my friend.

  16. Mr. Bird Host

    I love the steel blue color tying everything together. Very nice photo!

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Mr. Bird Host. Color is important.

  17. Kevin

    Beautiful shot, Mary! Love it!

  18. Looking for the Light

    So calm and inviting.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Melinda. Let’s hang on to the calm.

      1. Looking for the Light

        I’m trying to not think about the week ahead and focus on today. 🙂

  19. restlessjo

    That’s a lovely shot, Mary.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Jo. I’m sure you’ve seen your share of lighthouses.

  20. marvellousnightmare

    Really love this serene photo 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Ms. Marvellous. I think that lighthouses are signs of hope in the dark.

  22. Dawna

    What an awesome lighthouse! I love it and boy would I love to just sink myself into the ocean water. Mmmm, so soothing and calming

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      The lighthouse is in the middle of Lake Michigan which is massive and deep.

      1. Dawna

        I’ve been to Lake Michigan on the Wisconsin side. It looks like an ocean.

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          You’re right, Dawna. Lake Michigan is massive and deep. We refer to it as one of the Great Lakes. These lakes aren’t like what most people think of as a lake.

          1. Dawna

            You’re so right. It’s not what most think of as a lake. Living on a lake myself, I can honestly say, where I live doesn’t even come close to Lake Michigan.

  23. Garden Bliss

    Lighthouses have such an allure for me as well. This one looks very interesting.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you. I do believe that lighthouses draw great interest.

  24. arlene

    Great picture. If I could paint, I’d love to do an impressionist pic of this ❤️

    I read a thriller novel about an Irish lighthouse. It’s supposedly a very lonely job. This photo looks beautiful yet lonely.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      I bet a lighthouse job is lonely out in the middle of the water alone. Thank you for chiming in, Robin.

    Great shot, indeed …

    There’s a special magic about lighthouses. Love this one, Mary!

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Dina. You are right about lighthouse magic. There seems to be a following for them. Thank you for visiting. It is a pleasure to see you.

  44. kagould17

    So many different styles of lighthouses. I was intrigued by the ones I saw on the Hudson River from the train window. This one looks great, but can you imagine running out of supplies out there in the good old days? Happy Saturday Mary. Allan

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      So true, especially if the lake has ice. Happy Saturday to you, Allan.
