Description
Fairport Harbor Lighthouse in Fairport, Ohio taken from the waters of Lake Erie. I had photographed this lighthouse several times from land, but in the summer of 2009 and 2013 had the opportunity to photograph it from the water. This view includes the lawn and outbuildings. A beautiful sky enhances the photo.
Situated at the mouth of the Grand River, Fairport Harbor Lighthouse is known as "The light that shone for a hundred years," but the present Fairport Lighthouse didn't accomplish this feat on its own, as a predecessor, which stood on the same site, accounted for the first forty-six years of service. Weathered, well-proportioned, and sturdy, Fairport Lighthouse is beloved not merely for the picturesque views available from its elevated setting, but even more for the role it played in the history of Fairport and the Great Lakes region.
