"Michigan Island"

Michigan Island has an intersting history. The first lighthouse built on the island was built there by mistake -- it was built on the wrong island! After a period of time, it was realized that the light was beneficial so the builder was paid for his work. Later, it became obvious that a taller light was necessary to it could be seen over the trees, leading to the contstruction of the new skeletal tower seen to the left in this image. The older light is all but invisible in this photo.
