Artist Reply: Thank you, John. The building has been restored since I snapped that photo. I need to go back and take another one.

Artist Reply: Thank you, Kim, I thought it was incredible too. I can`t wait to paint it.

Artist Reply: Thank you!

Artist Reply: You are right, it should be saved. I am really surprised that it hasn`t been restored.

Artist Reply: Dianne, this is an update on my response to your March 4 comment. I am doing an oil painting of this lighthouse, and needed more photos of it than I have. I want my painting to have the Lake Superior shore showing just slightly and went online to see if there were any pictures of it showing the lake front. I found several, and in the course of looking, I discovered that since I was there it has undergone some restoration. The foundation has been reinforced, and the building and light tower have been reinforced with a series of cables and wires, and t he outside painted a weathered brown or grey. Also there is now a protective "crib" between the building and the lake. My painting is of the unrestored light. I think the weathered old building has more character than the spruced up one. But at least the new version will not fall down. Thought you might like to know. ~~Joan

Artist Reply: Yes, it really is nice, and I think it`s a shame that it hasn`t really been taken care of or restored as many of the old light houses were.
