USCG Station, Fort Gratiot, Port Huron, Michigan

Yesterday I shared my after dinner image of the USCG Cutter Hollyhock. Today I present the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse. The lighthouse is North of the Blue Water Bridge at the active U.S. Coast Guard station Fort Gratiot. Before we headed to dinner on Thurday we walked down to the St. Clair river at Lighthouse Park. I was able to capture these images of the lighthouse and surrounding station buildings as the sun was starting to drop below the clouds.

The walk from the parking lot to the beach did not give away the cold wind blowing that evening. I grabbed as many pictures as I could before we started back. It was then we realized are light jackets were not enough in the face of the wind now blowing directly into us. It made for a quicker pace back to the car.
