Walking The Dog

As the sun sets in the west, two friends enjoy a colorful evening walk on the harbor ice.

Afterglow and Lights

After the sun has set, the lights come on and people enjoy an warm, early October evening on the Grand Haven Pier.

Sunset On The River

Sunrise and Sunset

In August of 2016 I captured an image of the Paul R. Tregurtha as she left the harbor and headed out to Lake Superior. The sunrise painted a lovely glow down her side as she steamed away.

Fast forward to January 2022 and the same ship is arriving back to the harbor at sunset. The two images will make for a perfect triptych.

October Gift

We don’t often get temps above seventy in October but, when we do, it behooves us to get outside and enjoy it. I choose to spend a few hours at Jay Cooke State Park enjoying the sound of the St. Louis River and waiting for the sunset.

Mayflies and Mosquitoes

Thompson Reservoir, Carlton, MN

It would have been a much more peaceful evening if the mayflies hadn’t been in the middle of a major hatch and the mosquitoes hadn’t been so thick.  But, that’s northern Minnesota for you.

This will be my last post from Minnesota this month as I am headed to Oregon later this week for an extended photo trip.  I will be beginning with a sunset composition along the coast and then be driving back through the mountains, visiting Yellowstone and, I hope, Devil’s Tower.  I am also planning to shoot some prairie homesteads and wide open spaces in the Dakotas.

A Little Fresh Air

I’ve been cooped up a bit too long between staying home and my time working at our local food co-op, time to go outside and hug a tree.  And grab a photo or two.

Sunset of America?

Is this a commentary??  Perhaps.
