Marquette Harbor Lighthouse. 9/16/22

 It's been fun over the last couple months sharing the latest lighthouse visits with you and add two more covered bridges to the list of those in my photo collection.

 As I worked through 14 posts on 19 lighthouses, I realized that I also needed to update the slide loop I use at my in-person presentations on lights and bridges, which meant updating the videos of the collections for each as well.

 For the quick-hit, one-photo version the final videos run approximately ten minutes.

 I've learned it's helpful to have something to show prior to my talks, so a second version of the virtual tour was created with two or more shots for almost every bridge and lighthouse.

 There are a few exceptions for lights that are simply a metal tower with a light on top and there are a couple bridges I shot from a distance because they were on private land where I couldn't get more than one view of the bridge.

When I photographed two Missouri covered bridges in the fall of 2021, I didn't add them to my talk because Missouri isn't part of the upper Midwest.  Since I frequently am asked by guests at my talks about other bridges, I show all the full-size bridges in the photo collection.

I hope you enjoy the videos: 

Short-version of bridge tour:

When I worked on the longer, more leisurely look at the bridges, I discovered the original PowerPoint needed to be updated from standard definition to high definition which required re-designing every slide.  I think it was worth it.

The longer look:

In putting together the quick trip, I didn't include both lights in a range light configuration unless one shot had both in it.  For my 'count' I count the range lights as one lighthouse.  Enjoy the fast 8-minute tour:

 

Last, here is the leisurely tour of the lights on the lakes I've seen so far...
