2. That is Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior
near Two Harbors.

3. Wow, big lake!
I would have sworn it was the ocean somewhere. (You can tell I haven't spent much time around the Great Lakes.)

4. Yes
If it were not fresh water, it would be a sea!

5. OMG! Better than sex!
Well... better than sex with an ugly person. In general, sex beats even my most ardent lighthouse/photography fetishes.

But very, very lovely, KW! I like the top one best, I like seeing more ocean. What a gorgeous day you had to shoot in! My particular fetish about lighthouses is to imagine what it would be like to live in. That is a totally liveable lighthouse. :)

7. OK, I know that.
I read the posts above before I posted. Would you believe I'm sick and feverish? That I was distracted by being surrounded by ten or so 20-somethings who were talking about airplaines as sex toys while typing? That I really just logged on briefly to get a taste of home because I missed a flight out of New Orleans and had to stay the night at a volunteer camp where nightly shootings are occuring and so must be forgiven for any and all lapses of cognition?

I'm a wise-ass, KW, but I swear to God all the above excuses are true!

Still a couple of kick-ass lighthouse photos! :kick:

And nice to see you drop by our happy little group! :hi:

8. WoW! Thanks KW!
My mom took me there back in the early '60s after we went to Duluth where her mom was born.

WTG! Thanks for posting!

12. I enjoyed taking them
although without gloves on, my fingies got a little chilled.

I am glad you enjoy seeing them.

9. Beautiful shot
and a beautiful lighthouse. I like the first one best. The cropping cramps it a bit.

14. Hi, KW!
I'm staying in Grand Marais tonight (Friday), and will be driving to Duluth tomorrow taking pics along the way!
Beautiful drive, but overcast this weekend.
The cliffs along the NorthShore of Superior are stunning.

15. Hi Bob!
I could not believe my luck in getting a nice sunny day to take those pics.

Although overcast is also lends itself to great photography. I love the north shore.
