Big Point Sable Lighthouse has stood the test of time. The date above the exterior door tells the story of her age. The tower itself looks remarkably preserved during the 140th birthday celebration held on Oct. 27, 2007 by its caretakers

Like a giant teapot in a tempest, the Ludington North Breakwater Lighthouse is almost completely engulfed in a roiling sea at the height of a November 1, 2020, storm. I observed this storm for more than three hours, photographing during times of peak waves and peak light. The light in particular changed dramatically. This was one of the rare moments when the waves were the brightest and the storm clouds the darkest. I watch and wait a lot, yet try to remain always ready to trip the shutter.

After a week straight of rainfall at Porcupine Mountains State Park, the flooded Presque Isle River was a raging torrent on October 11, 2018. As I looked down from a bridge over the river near its terminus at Lake Superior, I was struck by the thought that the various paths the water was taking made the water look like angel’s wings.

I have photographed pieces and parts of this old fishing boat several times this year during the 365 Project. Today, the head-on view with the rusted blue hull is what got me excited. F11.0 at 0.8, ISO 100, 70-200 mm lens at 160 mm

A tip from a Pentwater area resident that had observed a lone sailboat in the mist on the way to work leads me to Long Bridge this morning to see if I can see what they have been seeing. Oh yeah! Thank you. F2.8 at 1/1250, ISO 100, 80-200 mm lens at 112 mm
