I've long had a fascination with Great Lakes lighthouses, and I've written about them here at Midwest Guest many times over the past seven years.
I especially love the structure and reflections created by classic Fresnel lenses in many of the lighthouse towers, so it's always a treat to get an especially close-up look at one of these beauties.
I first spotted this Fresnel lens a few years ago on display in the lobby of the Maumee Bay State Park Lodge near Toledo, Ohio.
The lens comes from the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse and remains on display at Maumee Bay as the lighthouse is still the subject of an ambitious renovation and restoration project.
This image placed third in the Motor City Camera Club Digital Photo (Color General), Beginner Division for April 2015.
