Description
Beautiful light and shadow fail to attract any viewers....except for me...on a cold February day in Neenah, WI. There were a few people taking a lunch break in their cars, heaters running, but no one out in the snow. Why would they be? I only had a few days to enjoy the snow, they had the entire winter! This lovely scene was in Kimberly Point Park on Lake Winnebago in Neenah, Wisconsin. near to the Neenah Lighthouse. The lighthouse on the shore of Lake Winnebago in Neenah, Wisconsin has stood for the last 50 years in a place where Native Americans met for pow-wows at the mouth of the Fox River. Also near the lighthouse site was once an enormous elm tree called the Old Council Tree by the Menominee Indians. The tribesmen would hold councils under its sheltering arms prior to the 1830's. How the name "Neenah," came to be attached to the locality is attributed to one of the governors, who meeting with a band of Native Americans one day, pointed to the river and asked, "what is that?" The Native Americans answered, "Neenah" being their word for water. The governor liked the word and applied it to the region.
