Heartwarming Cold Morning
A serene sunrise spreads warm hues above an icy Lake Michigan shore where the Kewaunee Wisconsin lighthouse holds its position at the end of a long pier.
The bare tree branches framing the top left corner of the scene adds a touch of nature to the tranquil, winter morning. This photo was taken almost ten years ago. Current visitors will notice the lack of any trees in this area of the shoreline.

Coming In Hot
The Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier stands in silhouette against a dramatic sunrise sky, with contrails piercing through the clouds. The calm, cool Lake Michigan waters seem unaffected by the rising drama.
This is a companion image to “Path to Glory” that I posted May 21st. If you compare them it’s obvious, they were both taken on the same morning from a slightly different angle. This was a hidden gem I found on my hard drive from 2014.

Sunrise and Dark Shadows
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse stands at the end of a long pier under a dramatic, morning sky.
I decided to process this one as a monochrome image. It was a dark and ominous scene and, though it was a little after sunrise, there wasn’t much color in the sky. I think the black and white treatment accentuates the contrast between the dark clouds and the light background reflecting off the surface of the water.

Prepare for Flames
A serene sunrise casts a warm glow over Lake Michigan, highlighting the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse in the distance. On the sandy beach, two pyramids of firewood are prepared to provide warmth on shore.
This is an HDR image that was taken in May of 2020. As I was processing this, I was tempted to swap out the sky because the original looked like it didn’t belong. (But, of course, it does belong.)

Lake Awakening
A serene sunrise casts a warm glow over the water, with the sun hovering slightly above the horizon. The Kewaunee, WI lighthouse is silhouetted against the bright sky at the end of the long pier.
This is an image I resurrected from my archives. This scene was captured June 6, 2015. It’s the sky that makes this an appealing image for me. This was taken from the beach.

Should Be A Postcard
The lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin stands in bold silhouette before a summer Lake Michigan sunrise. A glorious morning to photograph one of my favorite subjects.
This photo was taken in September of 2015 and has managed to go unnoticed on my hard drive…until today.

Fire From Below
This spectacular August sunrise colored the sky behind the Kewaunee lighthouse and pier. Kewaunee, Wisconsin is a small town, located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
This is a panoramic shot of about three separate photos joined (stitched) together to create a wide-view image. This photo was taken on August 31, 2019. I just discovered it in my archives. I did post another image taken this same morning I titled, “Awaking the Calm.” (Click the title to see that one.)
This is not the greatest image because it was taken when it was still pretty dark – much darker than what this photos represents. I had to remove a lot of digital “noise” and pull back the saturation. You can see a larger version of it by clicking on the image. If you look closely at the larger image you will see boats in the water (to the right of the lighthouse) and fishermen on the pier.
Chill In the Air
I recently upgraded my computer and while transferring files, I discovered a number of images worthy of revisiting. (Actually, there’s a lot I’ve just not gotten around to processing.)
My typical photo outing is to go take a number of photos, download them to the computer, find my favorite, process it and post it. That leaves a lot of photos taken on the same day untouched. Many of them are worthy of posting, but I rarely get to it. This is one of those images dating back to February 17, 2013. Back then I selected and posted “Frigid Sunrise Fog” as my favorite shot.

Turbulent Time
It was a blustery, November afternoon and the wind and waves were kicking up quite a fuss at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Lakeland Desert
The calm water, thin clouds and intense sun reminded me of a lone building stranded in the middle of a desert wasteland.
This sunrise appeared behind the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier on the western shore of Lake Michigan. This image was captured in May of 2020.
