Took this while on vacation in Lundington, Mi. We took a drive south of where we were staying, and did some exploring.

I have never heard of this before, and I like the traditional lighthouses over this, but found it interesting.

I appreciate your comments, thanks!

Looks like an up to date Lighthouse Tigz. I didn't know they had ones like this.
Great shot and thanks for sharing.
Must admit I like the old Lighthouses better. 😁

Sandi, I think it hasn't the function of the well known traditional lighthouses, because it has only a small and fixed (blinking) safety light not having the special rotating mirrors (for creating a turning light beam) that are used in these big lighthouses.
Could be a simple fairway marking light that indicates where the safe depth for navigating the lake ends.
A very fine image anyhow. I love its wideness!

Edit: Raj is right in his comment below by more precisely describing its function.

Very interesting Sandi - I believe there is one of these up north near Sturgeon Bay Wi.

This must be a warning light to mark the end of the pier - most probably a warning (blinking) red light. Well photographed Sandi.

Nice photo, must be some directional light of some kind. It's out there quite a long ways.

Yes, I would think it to be a warning light. I would think at night that even the pier itself could be a hazard to a boat.
