The South Haven Lighthouse

So I stopped in Grand Haven but it was raining pretty hard and I couldn't see any signs of the kite festival (apparently they ended up doing it on Sunday).  The pier on the lighthouse was still under construction and I didn't feel like braving the rain to get pictures of it.

 So I decided to head down to South Haven.  It's been a while since I've been there and by the time I arrived, the rain had cleared and that gave me a good chance to get some pictures as it was still cloudy.

 I like the lights that have the catwalks leading to them.  It gives them a nice unique look.

 Looking from the front.  You can see one of the puddles remaining from the rain.

I was trying to get the reflection of the lighthouse in the puddle.  It kind of worked.

The lighthouse with part of the beach.  I think that there are some pretty nice beaches on the west side of the state.
