We have remained true to that commitment for over 900 weddings. Visit our website, www.nigrelliphoto.com, for a complete look at our work, our vision and our commitment.

I've previously shown daytime photos of the Sand Point Light in Excanaba, MI. It's pretty! But I took this shot at sunrise, just as the active light was dimming. Not being too bright, you can see the shape of a Fresnel lens (in this case, a 4th order lens), originally red in color (quite unusual) and visible for up to 11 miles on the lake. The cupola is of cast iron, and the ornamental treatment at the top is a functioning lightning rod. Construction was completed in 1868 with the light tower facing away from the lake (also, unusual).

We turned onto a back road in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, only to see this rustic log building almost immediately into the turn! For some reason, the beauty of this scene just struck me. And, of course, one cannot help but imagine who lived there? How long? What did they do? How long had it been abandoned? One can only ponder!

The ship channel cutting across the Door Peninsula (mentioned yesterday) runs roughly NW-SE, reducing the shipping distance from Green Bay to ports on the Lake by as much as 150 miles. This Coast Guard station sits at the SE end of the ship channel near Lake Michigan. In addition, the cut-through avoided the very narrow and dangerous passage through Death's Door at the top of the peninsula!

Sturgeon Bay, WI is a large inlet, since widened to accommodate traffic cutting across the Door Peninsula. Now maritime traffic across the peninsula, saving many miles. This Big Red lighthouse sits at the entrance to the ship channel on the west side of the peninsula. Heavily reconstructed of cast iron and concrete in 1903, its light and foghorn are still operated by the US Coast Guard, saving many a mariner lost in the fog!

Freshman! Avery is an up-and-coming standout given her abilities on offense. But also a strong asset on defense, as a setter and team player.

It takes true teamwork...and these young ladies have got it! The athleticism of this sport...just three touches to make something happen! Come out Tuesday evening at 5:30 at the John Thrower Gym.

"Oh, it's a foggy day in London Town" is a truly appropriate title for this image of Big Ben taken on a Rolleiflex camera (square format) back in 1998. It wasn't raining, but sure was hazy. Nevertheless an impressive structure!

The McGulpin Point light is located just 3 miles west of Mackinaw City in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. I think you can see the octagonal shape of the lighthouse that was built integral to the residence of the keeper. Originally established in 1869, but deactivated in 1906.In 2009 the function was restored and is now an active light again. Due to its proximity to the approach to the Straits of Mackinac, there was good reason for the change in status.

The Halfmoon Reef light in Port Lavaca, TX has an unusual hexagonal shape. Completed in the late 1858, it was intended to guide ships past the treacherous reef of the same name. Originally on the east side of Matagorda Bay, it has now been preserved beside the Bauer Community Center in Port Lavaca.

About 15 miles west of Sault St. Marie, and at the mouth of the St. Mary's River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula sits the Point Iroquois lighthouse and museum. It opened in 1871 upon nearing completion of the locks between Lakes Superior and Huron. This particular point of land had been known for its confusing and hazardous approach to shipping seeking the new locks. No longer active, it is now managed by the US Forest Service.

These go by so many different names throughout the country. But whatever you call them, they are always a delight to see and to photograph. These were shot on a bright, sunny afternoon where the rich browns, golden yellows, and brilliant greens were showing at their best on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Have a warm and happy Sunday!

The planning for the lighthouse at St. Mark's Island in Florida began in 1820. A lighthouse was deemed necessary because the port of St. Marks had begun to be useful in handling agricultural products from middle Florida and South Georgia. However, because of shifting sands and shallow entry to the port, many ships had already run aground and it was felt that a lighthouse was necessary to guide traffic in and out of the port. However, the first construction was deemed inadequate and a second contractor finished the contract to specifications. But, as if not enough trouble had already befallen the light, erosion began to eat at its foundation. The contractor was called back in to move the light to higher ground. This was finally completed by 1831. Indian wars with the Seminoles and the Civil War forced the light into disuse during periods of time. The beautiful finished product seen today is the one shown in the photograph below...the second oldest lighthouse in Florida and certainly one of the most beautiful.
