Sometimes, a mistake can result in a better opportunity than the original intent. In the case at hand, I had actually set out to take pictures of the Holland Harbor Lighthouse. However, I missed the exit. Grrr! In my defense, I was passing a truck and didn't see the sign - that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Anyway, I had a decision to make - should I get off at the next exit and turn back, or continue south on US-31 to visit the South Haven South Pier Light? As either one would be fine, I decided to continue on. I'm glad I did, because the conditions on Lake Michigan were windy, which translates to choppy waves and images of the waves splashing hard against the end of the lighthouse pier. This was in winter, so it was pretty cold, but I hope you agree that the image below was worthy of the effort, and a salvation of my earlier mistake! Here's one of my favorite images from that outing:
