Some sunsets are truly out of this world. This cloud looked like a giant UFO with crazy neon orange lights shooting out from the top of it. It reminded me of the last scene in E.T. It was an exhilarating few minutes watching this light show at Stearns Beach in downtown Ludington.

A Michigan Moment

The northwest wind sandblasts me and nearly blows me off the top of the high dune I have run up with the heart but not the body of a 20-year-old. The uphill sprint, the wind and the view leave me breathless. The thought occurs, I might pass out trying to make this Lake Michigan shoreline picture before the fleeting magic light disappears; thank God I don't.

When the Lake Michigan shoreline builds up with snow and ice it becomes a playground for thrill-seeking photographers. I love seeing and hearing the waves slam themselves into the ice and explode into a furious spray, as though the waves and ice are at war with each other.
