As we continue on into our 20th year of the Pasty Cam, we hope you're enjoying the look back at photos from the archive each day, with the added bonus of a video, too. Today we head back to the year 2004 with Rick Anderson as our pilot in the first photo. That's the Keweenaw Waterway Lower Entry Lighthouse, also known as the Portage Entry Light in Jacobsville. Plenty of ice still around in Lake Superior that year.

Then in 2011, E. Neil Harri took us flying back to the same spot, with the commercial fishing boat "Dawn", just cruising past the breakwall and light. You can see chunks of ice floating, but it looks like considerably less than seven years earlier.

Both of today's archive photos show Lake Superior in one of her calmer moods, but hold on to your hat for the video feature from JMart of the U.P., taken a little over a year ago in March 2016. The way the waves are crashing, you can barely see the breakwall and it looks like there isn't any ice in sight either.

Fierce video! No surfers that day, I'll bet.

Nice aerial shots and great video.
Deb: The video makes you homesick, but it makes me seasick.!!!!
