Coincidental photo challenges

by 21 Comments

I’m just back today, Thursday, which is the day Cee puts out her black & white challenge and Nancy issues her photo challenge.

And guess what? I have a shot of my latest camping trip that will fit each of them! One shot, two challenges! Cee wants to see any light source, and Nancy wants to see a tower.

And just yesterday I was here:

This is the Pt. Aux Barques lighthouse, one of the ten oldest lighthouses in the United States. It’s located at the tip of Michigan’s thumb, and thoughit wasn’t open yesterday, due to Covid, it’s a beautiful tower and a beautiful light even if all I got to do was walk around outside.

I haven’t had time to look at the photos I took on this quick trip north to watch the stars. Stay tuned.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

    P.S. That lake almost looks like the ocean.

    Glad you were able to meet both challenges with a single photo. You made me lonesome for the Thumb. Although have never been at this lighthouse.

    A two-fer?? Great solution, Dawn, particularly when you’re trying to catch up from a trip away. Glad these challenges worked in your favor so you didn’t have to scramble to find shots that would work.

    What a beautiful photo for both of these challenges. I am so glad you decided to post a lighthouse. I had to resist doing it, but you all are probably tired of seeing my lighthouses. 😀

    That’s a beautiful lighthouse. I like seeing lighthouses, but they are few and far between around here.
