I’m always happy when I can combine silhouettes with sunsets. This was yet another shot taken at Presque Isle in Marquette, on a trip back home. I think another reason I’m drawn to it (besides having grown up visiting this spot) is that I find silhouettes of couples enjoying the sunset to be a romantic […]
