Album Description:
A trip home to SW Michigan in September 2007, turned out to be a most enjoyable trip! The weather was gorgeous, fall colors were starting to show, and I was able to photograph most of the lighthouses on the south and central shores.

Thanks for the tour. I went to school in Grand Rapids about 1000 years ago. We frequently went over to the lake shore to play in the dunes near Holland.

Wonderful photos! I live in Western Michigan and I love your photos! I've taken hundreds of pictures of some of these lighthouses, but I still thoroughly enjoyed your work! Next time remember to see the North Breakwater Lighthouse (Ludington).

Thank you for the wonderful photos.It is very annoying to have a premium membership(for many years)and save a beautiful hi res photo like yours only to have it reduced to 800x600 or less.Oh well,I guess that's the new webshots.I live in Wyoming MI and I especially enjoy the photos.

Lighthouses have always, since my boyhood, been a favorite thing of mine to see. And it's been through shots like this that I've gotten to 'travel' to so many of them. Beautiful album, Randy! I lived in Southfield for over 8 years and was born in Lansing. Spent a BUNCH of summers in Fairview at a Camp Barakel there.

Dear Randy, THANK YOU for your friendly invitation to view this fantastic album! And THANK YOU even more for sharing all these wonderful photos with me! I have just visited and viewed your photographic masterpieces, however, I see I need more time - also for my comments & compliments. :-) So I want to come back to view each photo more intensely. Looking forward to my second tour around the beautiful West Michigan Lighthouses.... With warm regards, Erika

Hi Randy, you have brought so many wonderful pictures from your trip! I LOVE lighthouses and I've never seen anything alike these here in Italy, apart from the lighthouse in my hometown, Genoa, which is also the symbol of the city. Maybe one day I'll go and take photos of it to show you. Thanks for sharing these beauties!

G'day Randy, Great to have you visit my lighthouse album. I see I have a very long way to go to be able to get the quality shots that you have. Cheers, kevin.

Thanks so much, Randy, for the invite to this lovely lighthouse album, knowing especially how much I like lighthouses. The lighthouses on the Great Lakes look to be quite different from the Coastal Pacific ones. I'm glad you got all these photos while you were on you recent trip to your hometown. The likelihood of me ever seeing the Great Lakes again are less than slim but I can still download your photos to my desktop. Thanking you, Leslie.

Randy, what a gorgeous slideshow this is! Lighthouses hold a majesty all their own and you've captured it beautifully. Sharing your photos and those of your family are wonderful testimonies to your values! ... Judy

Hi Randy, I just viewed your album with slide show. I thought the other photos were awesome, but these are sooooooo beautiful. You sure can't deny your Brother LOL. It was so nice to see your Parents. That is a photo you will treasure for ever. The sunrises were amazing, as was the whole album. My Dear friend, your work is always amazing, but you have really captured the beauty of Michigan!!! Big Hugs.. Susan

wow, Randy you have outdone yourself with this album. You were truly in your element in Michigan weren't you? I really enjoyed thoroughly these beautiful shots of the lighthouses. One thing I would love to do one day is capture the lighthouses on the east coast. Although I had been in Maine, I did not visit the ocean enough to get shots like this. Finally, I am back home again after a six week absence from WS, albiet two albums I had time to put online between a trip to Alberta this past week to see a daughter and family. It was nice to see your photos, and I'll be keeping an eye on more. Take care, ~Vickie~

Randy...I haven't words enough to tell you how beautiful is your album! I'v never been in the USA, but your photos are sooooo nice and show sooo delightful places that I feel like travelling there! Is the weather here always so gorgeous? This sky is incredible, it doesn't seem true....Have a nice day (in Italy is now bed-time!). Greetings, Lorella

I think you just convinced me that I have to visit the west shore of Lake Michigan. It looks beautiful. The Great Lakes are a real treasure. Thanks, Jim
