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.

It’s easy to imagine the driftwood as the remains of a vessel whose crew didn’t pay enough attention to that lighthouse! It’s a neat image.

Yes, I could see that too, now that you mention it. Whitefish Point is a beautiful and sometimes desolate place. The beach is always filled with giant driftwood, most I imagine thrown up there during the long brutal winters.

It does look like Maine! This is Whitefish Point, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula last week.

I think I’ve said it before, but I do love lighthouses! This is a great one, and I’m fascinated by all that driftwood. Such a well-composed photo!

This is Whitefish Point, off of which the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. The driftwood is large, parts of trees, thrown up on the beach during the notoriously rough weather that happens there, especially in the winter.

That’s an interesting photo of the lighthouse and all the driftwood on the beach. It must have been a heck of a tide to bring that much driftwood in. A fellow Michigan blogger and her husband go South from late Fall through Spring and have an RV and pull their vehicle and stop at various sites, then spend the Winter in Alabama. They visited Driftwood Beach in Jekyll Island, Georgia – it is similar to your driftwood pieces, but the whole beach is filled with twisted trees and driftwood. Eerie yet beautiful.

I’ve heard of that island. We have a place in AL, I’m hoping to get there this winter.

This is White Fish Point, sticking out into Lake Superior from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Dogs are allowed on the beach, but the water is COLD!
