My wife and I had gone to northern Michigan for a long weekend get away at a bed and breakfast. We had never been to this area before. I kept watching the sky and knew a beautiful sunset was coming. We found Frankfort about 1/2 hour before sunset and went down to the waterfront. There was a nice little harbor with a breakwater and little harbor lights. I could see the sun's path would take it across the lamp of the lighthouse if I positioned myself correctly. It was a wonderful windy, very cold day. I had a ball taking many shots.
