I rolled out of bed at 4 am and the sky was cloudy as far as the eye could see in every direction. But the weather app said that it would be sunny in Menominee in time for sunrise, so I drove right up there (50 miles). It was a good choice too! Check out this sunrise, and these dramatic, angry waters driven by high winds.

$The Marquette Lighthouse, one of the oldest structures on Lake Superior, was first built in 1853 to guide ships into Marquette’s harbor, which was rapidly becoming a crucial shipping hub for the region's booming iron ore industry. The original lighthouse was a modest structure, but by 1866, it was replaced with the more durable and recognizable red brick building that still stands today. Its light, perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Superior, helped navigate ships through the often treacherous waters, where strong winds and storms posed constant threats to vessels transporting iron ore and other goods. The lighthouse’s strategic location was essential in supporting the growth of Marquette as a key Great Lakes port.\n\nThroughout its operational years, the Marquette Lighthouse was regularly upgraded with new technology, including a Fresnel lens that allowed the light to be visible from greater distances. It remained an active aid to navigation until the U.S. Coast Guard automated it in the 1970s. In 1980, the lighthouse was decommissioned, and responsibility for its preservation was eventually transferred to the Marquette Maritime Museum. Today, visitors can tour the historic lighthouse and learn about its vital role in Marquette's maritime heritage, while enjoying panoramic views of Lake Superior from one of the most iconic landmarks in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.$
