What a great day to go to the beach! Temperatures in the low 30s, 20mph winds with gusts to 38mph, the famous Chicago "wintery mix" of rain and snow, and waves up to 22 feet. OK, so only a photographer would want to go. This is the Michigan City Lighthouse in Michigan City, Indiana a week ago.

Wow - where only the brave dare to go. Very dramatic picture; really captures the power of the storm. Is the end of the pier is being ripped up by the waves as well?
