This photograph pair is of Big Sable Point and Lighthouse, the latter with its distinctive black and white stripes. The 2019 photograph shows a somewhat transformed landscape, with less bare sand, more grasses, and much more water, possibly seeping from Lake Michigan, which is approximately 1,600 feet to the west. The modern dunes also appear larger and taller than in 1915. The research team would like to thank the staff at Ludington State Park for their assistance in recapturing this photograph.
