Point Iroquois Light House

Once again I am away from home, attending more training for work. This time I find myself in Brimley, Michigan. That is a small town in the Michigan's upper peninsula, about 4 miles from absolutely nothing. It is, however, the home of Bay Mills Resort and Casino, which happens to be where I am at. There is one good thing about this trip: about 7 miles north of here is the Point Iroquois Lighthouse.


I drove up there yesterday after checking in to take a few pictures. The lighthouse was closed, of course. However, the caretaker was there, and after chatting for a few minutes he opened the lighthouse and let me explore the tower. It was awesome. Here are a few shots I took, including the view from the tower, and looking up the spiral steps leading to the tower.

Here is another view of the lighthouse:


And another:


These are the steps leading up to the light. This was taken from the very bottom, looking straight up:


The view from the top of the tower. The light is gone now. The land in the distance is Canada:
