Here in Minnesota, they light the lighthouse at Split Rock State Park once per year, on the anniversary
of the sinking of the Iron Ore ship the Edmund Fitzgerald. (yes,, the same ship from the Gordon Lightfoot song)
I was able to get up there on the 10th with several thousand of my closest friends, lol, to witness the lighting.
This is a 117 sec long exposure. I hope you like it.

Great tribute and excellent capture!I like it. Nice the weather cooperated.If it were my image, I would in Lightroom darken the two houses to the left of the lighthouse. That will give the Lighthouse more impact!

Very nice shot

Great shot!

Great shot, and a nice memorial.
Re darkening the houses - try it. But I really do not think it will affect the picture either way. I really do like the reflection path of the light on the water. Great job!
