Artist Commentary: "To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue." -- Buddha The North Point Lighthouse along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Lake Park, Milwaukee Wisconsin. The lighthouse was originally completed in 1855, rebuilt at it's present location in 1887 and finally raised to it's current height of 74 feet in 1912. It was taken out of service and closed by the US Coast Guard in 1994. In 2007, the lighthouse reopened to the public. In the processing of this image, I was inspired by the lighthouse paintings of Edward Hopper.
