Whitefish Point

White Fish Point Lighthouse

In the last couple years, I have started noticing rocks shaped like hearts on Michigan beaches. Tonight, I am photographing this one in front of the Whitefish Point Lighthouse on Lake Superior. A workshop student once asked me how I find so many heart-shaped rocks. I thought about it for a while and decided that somehow they must find me.

If you love to find incredible beach rocks and occasionally add a few to your personal collection, I highly recommend taking a trip to Whitefish Point on Lake Superior. The diversity of the rocks in shape, color, texture, and size is mesmerizing. The roar of the waves and the sound of the rocks moving against each other have a strange calming effect on me.

The rugged Lake Superior shoreline at Whitefish Point is a golden place to be on this August evening. Uprooted elsewhere by the power of Lake Superior waves, these trees have been carried by wind and wave energy to this prominent point and driven ashore. Seeing the forces of nature at work is one of the most fascinating aspects of being an outdoor photographer.
