Good Morning To Everyone On The Front Porch On This Cold Thursday Morning December 17th, 2020!
As I'm sitting around our apartment on my cable I've seen some interesting things like beautiful creatures posted on the internet! It could be a tropical bird, a majestic animal, a waterfall in a remote part of Africa, a giant tree or the insect I've posted below.
I think that the Front Porch followers should be able to come up with several hundred photos by New Years Day! All you need to do is save the photo to your gallery and repost it here to this topic.

SS Badger is a passenger and vehicle ferry in the United States that has been in service on Lake Michigan since 1953. Currently, the ship shuttles between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a distance of 62 miles (100 km), connecting U.S. Highway 10 (US 10) between those two cities. She is the last coal-fired passenger vessel operating on the Great Lakes, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 20, 2016.
I traveled on this ship with my folks when I was about 12 years old
Yes I I got seasick!
Stuck in traffic, Door County style…
When the bridge is up, we just take a deep breath and enjoy the view. We had a lot of great weekends in Door County with friends over the years
One would be truly blessed on days like this to live so close to the ocean, with Peggy’s Cove just a short drive from their home. Today, one would be lucky enough to capture some of the most iconic Nova Scotia moments: the Bluenose sailing past Peggy’s Cove. It would see like two of the province’s most beloved landmarks came together in one perfect scene. I might just have to print one of these—curious which one speaks to you most!

Belmont was initially chosen as the capital of the territory. In 1837, the territorial legislature met in Burlington, just north of the Skunk River on the Mississippi, which became part of the Iowa Territory in 1838.[2] In that year, 1838, the territorial capital of Wisconsin was moved to Madison!

The White Shoal Lighthouse, located 20 miles west of the Mackinac Bridge in Lake Michigan.
It is an active aid to navigation. And it is also the tallest lighthouse on the Great Lakes.
Construction of the crib style light began in 1908 and the light was commissioned on September 1, 1910.
With the red and white 'candy cane stripe', color pattern it is the only 'barber pole' lighthouse in the United States. It was automated in 1976.
The lighthouse on Tearaght island, Ireland. The lighthouse is only 17 meters high. But it doesn't have to be higher, the lantern is still 84 meters above sea level. The lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1870. It was manned until 1988, when it was automated.
Tearaght island is the westernmost point of Ireland and Europe, apart from a few small cliffs a little further away to the southwest and apart from Iceland and the Azores.
