Each year, Split Rock Lighthouse is lit on the anniversary of the wreck of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald was lost with all hands during a terrible storm on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975.
The weather was awful for the lighting. It was raining. It was windy. It was cold. There were 5 foot waves crashing into the shore. I stayed long enough to shoot just a couple of photos and then headed for the hotel to enjoy a nice pool and some warm pizza with my wife and kids.
