Sometimes I get on a tree kick. I like trees. I posted another one recently that was taken a couple of years back, this one was taken more recently. No cloud overlay, either, this is what was there that afternoon. This is on the roadside on the way in to the South end of Saline, […]
Clouds
Scrapped
After driving past a fenced in collection of piles like this for over a year, I finally stopped with a camera to grab a few shots. I would really love to see if I can get permission to shoot from inside the fence, though pretty often people are worried about liability with that. So this […]
Single Tree
I drive by this spot in Saline just about every week on my way to check a PO Box for my business. It’s probably the most photographed object for me in that town at this point. lol This photo is a bit of an experiment in that when I took it (a few years ago) […]
Stoic Pines
As much as I love Lake Superior, I can’t imagine trying to stand next to it season after season. These trees are tougher than they look. This was taken on a quick stop during my travel out of town after a weekend visit. The weather was getting pretty intense and I was trying to beat […]
Teal Marble
On a recent trip to the U.P. I’d had dinner in Ishpeming with my two older sons, and didn’t have time to get back to Marquette to catch the sunset at Presque Isle. So I stopped at Teal Lake to see if I could find any shots there. The lakeshore on the Neguanee side is […]
Distant Memory
Right before turning off on a road to explore the Laughing Whitefish area there’s a post office for Deerton, Michigan. Right near that, there’s a house that’s seen better days. Every time I see houses like this (there are many along the roads in the U.P. when you get out away from the towns) it […]
Sunset Silhouette
At first I was really disappointed on the evening I stopped to take sunset photos at Presque Isle in Marquette… but I’ve learned over the years that sunsets are not always predictable. Usually not, in fact. And things can change very quickly. The evening I took this photo, it was 95% very bland, with soft […]
Snowy Beach
I seem to end up with my favorite photos either on my way into Marquette or on my way out. I tend to stop often (which my youngest isn’t a fan of when he’s with me) so I can wander. It’s a great way to stretch the legs after the long drive up, though a […]
Erie Winter
Another version of a similar shot I posted recently… the same corner at Magee Marsh, but after about 15 minutes, the strong wind had completely changed the cloud structure and much more blue was visible. It felt very backward, given that there is no blue in the water. This is also pulled back a bit […]
