Chicago Harbor Light on Lake Michigan

This lighthouse tower was constructed in 1893 near the mouth of the Chicago River and was moved to the outer breakwater where it is now in 1917. You can see this lighthouse while driving through Lake Shore Drive and when visiting Navy Pier. It is connected to land by a walkway but it is closed to the public. Keepers manned the station until 1979 when the light became automated.

Hi Ken,
Beautiful image of this lighthouse it stands out like a beacon against the dark blue waters.
Well done.
Regards
Santo

Hello Ken,

The image is very pretty with the lighthouse being a strong focal point in this blue background. Colour saturation is good and details look sharp. I wonder is cropping the image just below the reflection would create a more balanced image. Thanks for sharing.
