With 5 1/2 hours before my reservation for dinner, I started back toward Milwaukee. The first stop was about half way, at Port Washington, where I photographed the Port Washington pier lights. One is still active. Built by the WPA, it is unusually shaped with an open area beneath the tower.
The weather was much nicer than the day before - cool but sunny. A wedding was taking place in a gazebo by the water. There were quite a few people fishing from the breakwaters or boats, and I saw one lake trout landed.
Unfortunately, since I hadn't planned on visiting this location in advance, I totally missed the nearby Port Washington Main Lighthouse. I understand that for many years it looked like any house, but has recently been renovated to look like a lighthouse again.
