Description
Point Betsie Light�is located on the northeast shore of�Lake Michigan�� at the southern entrance to the�Manitou Passage�� north of�Frankfort, Michigan. The cylindrical tower is 39 feet tall, but sits on a dune placing the light 52.5 about the lake. The tower is attached to the�Lighthouse keepers�house. This was one of the earliest Life Saving Station, and was run under the auspices of the�U.S. Life-Saving Service. In 1910 the�United States Lighthouse Board�was reconstituted as the�U.S. Lighthouse Service and in 1939 these agencies were merged under the control of the�U.S. Coast Guard. Prior to being automated in 1983, Point Betsie was the last manned lighthouse on Lake Michigan and the last Michigan lighthouse to lose its keeper.
Jeff Burton is a Peoria, IL based Fine Art Photographer, who seeks to capture moments that instill a sense of calm and wonderment with the world around us. His monochrome photography style emphasizes the often-overlooked rich texture and tones of his subjects.
