The Grand Haven Outer Light building (foreground) was built in 1875 and includes the original fog signal marking the entrance to the Grand River on Michigan’s West Coast. The unique v-shaped pierhead protects the building from the fury of waves and storms but this causes ice & snow to build up each winter until the elevated pier is no longer visible in Lake Michigan. The wind chill on January 25, 2014 was -24 degrees, allowing me to walk out on the frozen lake to capture this image… and then seek warm shelter fast!
