Lighthouses on Lake Erie

I took a trip to Ohio and Pennsylvania in June, 2002. Here are some lighthouses I saw on that trip along Lake Erie. They begin to the western end of Lake Erie in Port Clinton, and continue east through Ohio and into Pennslyvania to Erie. You may click on the thumbnail photos to see a larger version of them.
