Description

Michigan is known for lighthouses along its coast on Lake Michigan. Their light guides boats along the shore to a safe area inland.

Here in Holland, Michigan stands a beautiful big red lighthouse on a channel that connects Lake Michigan with Lake Macatawa. "Big Red" is also known as Holland Harbor Light. The original structure was built in 1872 and the current structure was built in 1907. It has a gabled roof which reflects the Dutch influence in the area. This is a view of the lighthouse across the channel from Holland State Park at blue hour right after sunset.

Locals enjoy sailing their boats here in the summer. I have family members who have a lot of memories coming here at Holland State Park to fish and watch the boats coming in. I also have family who have boats and have been enjoying the waters of the Lake for decades. Enjoying the outdoors, beach and nature is part of the culture here.

The people riding the sailboat in this image have been out on a late summer day enjoying the view of the sun as it sets on the horizon. The glimmer of the remaining light of the sun cast a warm color on the sails as the boat enters the canal to Lake Macatawa. They are finally home.
