The journey began with a restless spark deep inside me—an urge to capture a lighthouse along Lake Erie in a way no one had ever seen before. The road to get there stretched long and gray, clouds pressing low against the horizon. My eyes burned from fatigue, and more than once I questioned whether the trip was worth it. Yet determination carried me forward; I refused to let weariness or weather decide the outcome of my quest.
When I finally arrived, the lighthouse stood like a sentinel at the edge of the lake. The wind whipped against my face, sharp and cold, carrying the tang of freshwater and the faint metallic scent of wet stone. Waves crashed against the jagged rocks, spraying me with droplets that stung my cheeks. I could hear the hollow roar of water echoing under the cliffs, mingled with the screech of gulls wheeling overhead.
Balancing my camera, I edged closer for the perfect vantage point. That’s when I nearly lost it—I slipped on a slick patch of algae-covered rock. My foot slid out, my body lurched, and the camera strap jerked tight around my neck as I flailed for balance. For a terrifying moment, the water rose toward me, furious and unrelenting, threatening to drench both me and my gear. Heart pounding, I steadied myself, clutching the camera as though it were a lifeline.
Then, just as the sun broke weakly through the clouds, the light fell perfectly on the lighthouse. I raised my camera, framing the tower against the glimmering spray, my breath ragged with adrenaline. Click. The shutter sang, sealing the moment before the lake could swallow me whole.
When I returned home, exhausted yet triumphant, I showed my family the photograph. Their eyes widened, impressed not just by the shot but by the story behind it. In that moment, the fatigue, the danger, the long miles—they all became worth it.
I felt alive, inspired, and ready for more. The lighthouse by Lake Erie wasn’t just another picture—it was the beginning of a new adventure, and I knew I would chase these moments again and again.
