I mentioned in this morning's commentary that I got some good pix a year ago along Eaton Highway. This is one of those.

The Old Maid

The folks who settled Eaton County, Michigan, called the swamp that covered much of Windsor Township "The Old Maid Swamp." Nowadays, to the extent it's called anything, it's the Secondary Complex Marsh or (if you're an old state employee) Lake Austin. At least in this corner of the bog.

I think we should resurrect the old name....

Photo shot from the parking lot of the Secretary of State building, where I worked more or less forever without knowing the swamp's True Name.

This came out nicely, I think. Taken during last weekend's Door County trip.

Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Light

The best of several unsatisfactory photographs I took of this light. The surrounding buildings are interesting, but I didn't capture them well.

The structure did not originally have this elaborate bracing, but it quickly became evident that the tower would not stand without bracing. All in all, it turned out to be quite attractive.

Sherwood Point Light

This light is at the Green Bay end of the Sturgeon Bay channel which divides Wisconsin's Door County. This was the last manned lighthouse on the Great Lakes.

The location is not particularly well-marked, probably because its grounds are not open to the public.

Cana Island Lighthouse

Joel Dinda has posted:

This lighthouse is on a pretty little island near Bailey's Harbor in Wisconsin's Door County. Signs along the road to the place warn that there is no parking and that there are no facilities; nonetheless, there's a $4.00 charge. Turns out that there is parking (after a fashion), and that there are porta-potties--and that the island is connected to the mainland by a causeway. At least most of the time.

Lifesaving Station

The Sturgeon Bay Canal Station continues to function as a lifesaving station, which was its function even before the lights were built. Here's the little rescue boat, by its pier.
