point iroquois lighthouse, chippewa county, michigan

            #443 EXPLORE, January 16, 2015

A wooden lighthouse was established at Point Iroquois in 1855 in conjunction with the first commercial shipping on Lake Superior. Point Iroquois, Michigan / Gros Cap, Ontario mark the boundary between the St. Marys River and Whitefish Bay / Lake Superior. Point Iroquois was named for the Iroquois warriors massacred by the Ojibway in 1662. The native Algonkin name for the Point is Nadouenigoning- -”Iroquois bones”.

The current Cape Cod Style lighthouse was built in 1870 with a fourth order Fresnel lens in a 65 foot / 20m tower, and was deactivated in 1962. The site is managed by the U.S Forest Service as part of the Hiawatha National Forest, and is open to the public. Point Iroquois is 20 miles / 32 km west of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

A Lee Seven5 0.6 ND soft grad / two stop soft graduated neutral density filter was used to balance the exposure. Processing alchemy with Nik Dfine 2 and Color Efex: detail extractor, sunlight filter and graduated neutral density filter- -to balance the exposure. Finished with Apple Aperture.
