This is the Fairport Harbor West Breakwater light on Lake Erie in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. Some of the pictures were taken from Headlands Beach. I walked out to this light along the breaker rocks. Some of the rocks had name and initials carved into them, some as old as 1959. This light has been out here since 1925 replacing the old lighthouse that sat inland (more on this one next week) at the mouth of the Grand River. Local volunteers are trying to take over ownership of and restore this active light, letting the U.S. Coast Guard continue to operate it.

Great shots...of Cleveland and the lake sunsets, etc. This one was my favorite cause I live in Fairport. And yeah, the roads and potholes are legend.

Hello! I came across your blog when I was searching for my favorite lighthouse (the Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Light) up on Lake Erie. That is a beautiful picture you took! I was there about 5 years ago taking pictures of it and I recently found them sparking my interest again. I also noticed many of your other pictures and I love them, they've inspired me to get the camera out again and MAKE time to do one of the things I love doing and wish I had more time to do. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the beautiful work!
