Picture of the Day for May 28, 2015

While out on a day trip today, one stop was the Wisconsin Point, a peninsula off the shore of Superior, Wisconsin. The point is the world’s largest freshwater bay mouth sand bar. The Wisconsin Point Lighthouse was built in 1913 and is located on the end of the peninsula.

But today the lighthouse wasn’t very visible nor could you see Lake Superior because of the fog rolling in on a chilly afternoon when the temperature was 45 with a colder wind chill. And while I was hoping for a nice sunny day to walk out to the lighthouse, the need for lighthouses and fog horns wouldn’t have existed if the weather was always calm and sunny.

  1. You are a brave soul to be out taking pictures in the weather like that. I even see some pretty nice chunks of driftwood in the picture. 🙂

  2. Beautiful! I love the point! This is one of my favorite place to visit and I never miss an opprotunity to stop when I am visiting Superior.
