Sunrise Pier Fishermen

The Kewaunee Lighthouse is situated at the end of a very long pier that stretches out into Lake Michigan.  It is a very popular spot for fishermen. Behind these group of early morning anglers, the powerful sun begins its ascent.

If you look closely, you’ll notice a small boat in the very bottom right corner.

The sun is an impressive force as it rises above the Lake Michigan horizon beyond the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin.

The charter fishing boat “Cook’s Catch II” is the boat you see at the mouth of the harbor.

This is one of my favorite photographic targets – a lighthouse at sunrise.

Fishermen by the Lighthouse

You know me. I’m a sucker for a sunrise…with a lighthouse…and a few clouds to add interest. The fishermen on the pier is the cherry on top.

The pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin is a popular spot with fishermen during the fall salmon run. This was an early morning, the sun rising behind the Kewaunee lighthouse.

Fan Dancer

This was an American Goldfinch that I found by the marina in Algoma, Wisconsin.  He was feasting on the thistles growing near the water’s edge; pulling out the white tufts and munching on the seeds.  As you can see, thistle seeds are light and airy and tend to float with the breeze.

Morning Star

The sun was fighting to peek through the clouds as it rose over Lake Michigan and the lighthouse and harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin.

The sharp lines extending from the bright sunlight was achieved by using a Star Filter on the camera lens.  Because of the cloud cover, this scene was rather dark when I captured.  That’s also why there is a lot of camera noise (that grainy look) after brightening it with photo software.

Beach Grass

A gentle breeze nudged the beach grass awake to witness the impending sunrise.  This photo was taken at dawn on the shore of Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, Wisconsin.

I find this image very calming.  It evokes daydreams about relaxing on some exotic distant shore with my sweetie, waiting for the sun to rise.

Angling in a Fog

A lone fisherman waits in a fog for the first bite. He’s fishing for salmon or trout in the waters of Lake Michigan from the pier in Algoma, Wisconsin.

This was the scene I found last Saturday. I stopped and took a number of photos of this guy…and the lighthouse and flowers and bees and birds…”whatever caught my eye.”

Big Red

This fireworks burst turned the water red.  This was part of the 26th annual Shanty Days celebration in Algoma, Wisconsin – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

The fireworks are launched from the pier and people line the shore to watch the fun.  As you can see, I was positioned on the beach, at the waters edge.  If you’re familiar with the area, you might recognize the Algoma lighthouse – it’s that little red dot on the far right of the photo, just above the water.

Blooming in Black & White

I love fireworks.  The climbing rockets, bursting into bright, streaming displays of color and light are an irresistible enticement for my photographic efforts.

I decided to try something unusual with this one.  The shape of the bursts reminded me of flowers blooming.  Rather than emphasize the color, I removed all color to accentuate the shape.

I wasn’t sure I’d like it without the color, but the more I look at it, the more it appeals to me.  I really like the firework’s reflection in the water.

Shroud of Clouds

On an early Sunday morning, I was able to snap a few interesting images.  In this shot, an unusual cloud formation kept the sun from fully dominating this view of the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier.  And then again, maybe the sun held it’s own.
