This remains my favorite image of Big Red (the Holland Lighthouse) on Lake Michigan. It was taken with a Canon S2 way back in 2006. I've never seen that boat again and the whole scene was serendipitous - red boat, red reflections, American Flag on the back of boat on a diagonal line leading up to the American Flag on the top of Big Red.

Btw, the aspect ratio on an S2 was 1:1.33 - this version was cropped for 1.5 to match my current camera's images.
