"Door
County Sentinel"
Cana
Island Lighthouse - Door County, Wisconsin
It had
been several years since I had photographed the Cana Island Lighthouse
on the Door County Peninsula and I wanted to create some new images of
it . The low Lake Michigan water levels had exposed the rock shelf
that surrounds this small island and allowed me move farther away from
the lighthouse. Yet, I felt I needed to be farther away. So off
went the shoes and socks and into the water I went. I loved the composition
but the light and clouds where uninspiring in this first image. I
returned on repeated occasions to capture the image in more dramatic
weather conditions. It took almost two years before I made this
image. It was a gloomy dark evening and I was loosing hope. But,
as the sun was setting it broke through a small clearing and with it's
finial rays of light illuminated the clouds above the island with a
wonderful pink glow.
