Description

The Holland Harbor Light, a.k.a. Big Red, is one of my all-time favorite lighthouses (and judging from the number of photos I see of it, it's a favorite of lots of other folks as well). In part, that's because it's my favorite color, but the western coast of Michigan also is one of my favorite places to visit. The lighthouse stands at the entrance of a channel that connects Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan. Happy Hump Day, everyone!
