1. Taken last winter. A view from the shore over a frozen bay on Lake Michigan. On the left a wharf heads out into the bay. In the distance there is a white lighthouse. If the foreground is yellow dune grass blowing in the wind. Roiling clouds of blue and white are overhead. It is very cold and windy.

1. A wide angle view of a sunset over a lake as it transitions to night. The lake reflects the sky making the whole picture symmetrical from top to bottom. In the middle of the photo a thin row of black sand dunes are like beads on a string. Dark blue clouds create interesting patterns. A thin orange sunset betrays the last rays of the sun peaking over the horizon. I have been traveling this week so I pulled this photo from September.

1. Large individual clouds, colored deep red by the sunset, hover over a lake like invading UFOs. The sky is blue near the top, and yellow near the horizon. The silhouettes of sand dunes are on the far side of the lake.

1. A snowy forest scene featuring bare trees with intricate, twisted branches. A prominent tree in the foreground has a unique, curved shape - like a chalice - with snow covering the ground and branches, creating a serene winter atmosphere.

1. Looking over a lake (yes, the same old lake but it’s always so different). This is the moment of sunset where the sun’s rays skim over the horizon through our atmosphere scattering red, orange, and yellow light to illuminate the bottom of clouds stretching in an arc from horizon to horizon. The rays are then reflected onto a placid lake creating a perfectly symmetrical pattern of light and dark dunes. In the foreground is a sandy shore strewn with weeds.

1. A tranquil sunset over still water, reflecting shades of orange and pink against a darkening sky. The lake has its first patch of ice starting. Silhouetted hills are visible in the background, and a shoreline with some vegetation is seen in the foreground.

I have a growing desire to someday buy a car with no GPS and drive across the country with no phone or credit cards.

Tonight wasn’t as strong as last night, but at least it was clear out. There were a few minutes where you could see structures like this.

1. Aurora with green low on the horizon and red up above it. There are silhouettes of trees and pine trees on the horizon. This captures some structure in the Aurora with pillars of red light pointing up from the horizon to the sky.

1. A kayak is traveling down a winding creek between sand dunes overgrown with trees in autumn colors reflecting on the calm water. Bright orange, red, and yellow leaves contrast against a clear blue sky, creating a serene natural scene. In the distance, an old wooden dock is tilted from the yearly freezing and thawing. In the distance the creek turns to the left, leading into the unknown.

1. A dirt road through a forest surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves. In my area of Michigan the yellow are most likely hickory trees and the orange will be oak. The path is one lane wide and starts in the lower left and disappears over the crest of a small hill, leading into the unknown.

I enjoy the Great Lakes, small lakes, abundant nature, back roads, small towns, big cities, and sports that our unique state has. I like to share pictures of interesting things I see beyond where the pavement ends. I appreciate when others post pictures or thoughts of the cool moments they experience in every day life. All photos are mine unless noted.#nature #wildlife #photography #PureMichigan #michigan #detroit #LakeMichigan #IndyCar #cycling #kayaking #hiking #garden #LGRW #Lions
