A damaged white staircase descends from a house toward a beach beneath a rainbow and cloudy sky.

Posted to Beaver Island Association (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Association on 2019-11-15 02:25:28. Caption as posted: "The BIA Board has has written to the Army Corps senior officer for the Great Lakes and the director of Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy Water Resources Division seeking assistance with developing plans for responding to high lake levels. "Unique environments are at risk. Home and property values are threatened and, as a result the island’s tax base is also at risk. Failure to properly address the issue threatens the island’s environmental and economic sustainability. I have attached pictures from some of our members that show some of the damage so far on the east"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A white-sided house stands at the edge of a sandy, rocky beach. A long white staircase with railings descends toward the water, with exposed supports and dark material lying beneath it. Small waves reach the shoreline, while a rainbow appears across the cloudy sky and trees rise behind the house.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The archive record identifies this as a photograph posted to the Beaver Island Association Facebook page on 2019-11-15. The accompanying caption says the association sought assistance regarding high water levels and described attached images as showing damage on the east side; it also mentions the Army Corps and Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
