Description

A storm starting to form over Lake Michigan (part of the Great Lakes) as waves crash around St Joseph North Pier Inner and Outer Lighthouses. Some of these waves had to be 10 - 15 feet tall. It was very interesting to watch. I love the HDR look I created with this. The St. Joseph North Pier Inner and Outer Lights are lighthouses in Michigan sit at the the St. Joseph River. The station was built in 1832 with the current lights built in 1906 and 1907; they were decommissioned in 2005. It was first platted in 1829, and the first lighthouse at the site, located on shore, was built in 1832. Construction began on harbor piers in 1836, and by 1848 a beacon light had been established on the pier. The onshore lighthouse was replaced in 1859, and a new pierhead beacon was constructed on the south pier in 1870. In 1881, this beacon was transferred to the north pier. In 1897 a pole light was built 400 feet shoreward to serve as a rear range light. In 1904, the pier was extended, and the range lights were moved lakeward. In 1906/07, the present set of range lights were built. Ownership of the lights was transferred to the city of St. Joseph in 2013.
