Lighthouse Goose



When I was in Grand Marais, Minnesota on Monday, I come across this scene of a Canada goose looking at the West Breakwater Light.  The vast majority of the Grand Marais Lighthouse pictures are of the main lighthouse on the east breakwater.  I like rooting for the underdog, so I thought I would feature the lesser known light.  This light was lit in 1902, and is still active today.  It is a lot harder to access than the main lighthouse, but you can get close to it in a boat, or by climbing over a lot of very large boulders.

The Canada goose is further from the light than the picture might suggest.  I was on shore when I took the picture, and the goose, lighthouse, and orange lichen covered rocks all lined up nicely.
