This photo of the Point Betsie Lighthouse was taken between some of the ice-covered shrubs in front of the lighthouse.
From Frankfort, drive north along M22 for about 4 miles. Just after you pass the Crystal Lake Yacht Club, turn left onto Point Betsie Road. Park at the end of the road and then walk out to the beach behind the chains and around to the lighthouse bib. You will likely have to walk up some very slippery ice to find a position between some ice formations to frame your shot, so make sure to be properly dressed.
