The Badger Arrives

The former car ferry for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, now a tourist operation for the most part, arrives Ludington, Michigan. It now carries people and their automobiles across the lake between this place and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The structure in the foreground is the Ludington North Breakwater Light.

[I should note: the railroad had a sister ship to this one named the Spartan. Thus one for a Wisconsin State University and one for one situated Michigan. I doubt that this would happen in contemporary times with the attack on higher education going on.]

This was very much one of these events where things unfold every so slowly, lulling one into a complacency...only to then accelerate very quickly. This so much as to catch a photographer with their pants down, but I think I was able to squeeze off the frames that I wanted. This daily summer event deserves more attention—and perhaps booking passage; one can go here if interested.

One thing that mildly disconcerts me regarding these shots: the lighthouse seen here has a definite tilt toward open water. [Whenever possible, I level my images based on the horizon, easily done here with Lake Michigan in the background, and the tilt is real.] I don't know if it was designed that way, to withstand pounding of large waves from that direction, or something that's happened over time.

The sky above Little Bay de Noc in Lake Michigan melts into a symphony of fiery oranges and soft golds, reflecting off the tranquil water. It's a serene moment captured, where nature paints its masterpiece.

South Haven: Hand In Hand [Explored] by davelawrence8

[johndunwin]

I wanted to capture the transition of seasons by portraying a late summer day by the lake, just as rain clouds begin to gather. The clouds symbolize change, hinting at the arrival of fall. I chose black and white to emphasize the moodiness of the scene, allowing the textures of the clouds and water to stand out.

Sunset @ Oval Beach 🌅

This is my favorite beach to visit. Settled on the Western coast of Michigan, Saugatuck. It's pretty lowkey, and even on days with lots of visitors, it doesn't feel packed. Beautiful rolling dunes (not pictured) and trails can be found here as well!

More coming, stay tuned!

Search for Green Flash

I attempted to improve on my capture of the green flash, and was thwarted yet again. Despite a forecast of cloudless skies, I knew I was in trouble when the sun dropped into a bank of haze close to the surface of Lake Michigan.

The view is from a spot on the west coast of the lower peninsula, abut five miles north of the Little Sable Point Lighthouse.

Lake Michigan's shoreline embraces the winter as icy formations meet the chill, blue water. A moody sky watches over this serene, frost-kissed landscape.

Finger Prose

I looked at my finger today,

And remembered how I had sliced off a hunk on a Sunday

There was so much wind blowing through my hair

And I of thought of how grateful I was beyond that little scare

A small bit of joy for a finger to keep in the self aware

And I let my digits run through to push the wind back into the air
