Vintage Lighthouse

Located on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, in the city of Marquette, this vintage photograph features a now automated Coast Guard lighthouse.

Growing up as a child, I lived only three blocks away and spent countless hours on this beach – formerly referred to as Michigan Beach (now, McCarty’s Cove).

This picture is available on several wonderful products in the following shops – check it out:

Hope to see you soon!

            Autumn sounds perfect. I donโ€™t mind the cold and snow much. I just rather not be the one driving on a road trip with slushy snow or ice. ๐Ÿ˜
