Lakeside Landscaping
In an early morning outing I captured the sun rising over Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. Normally I shoot the lighthouse sunrises from the edge of the water, on the beach. For this shot, I moved back into the grassy area beyond the sand.
I love looking at the detail in the plant life. You can see more detail in the larger version by clicking on the photo.

Reticent
The sun seemed a bit reticent as it made it’s appearance behind the lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, WI – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
I named this, “Reticent,” because the sun exhibited qualities of the word: restrained in expression, presentation or appearance.

Heaven Above
The sky was glorious the morning I captured this image. It was shortly after sunrise and the low angle of the sun was only lighting up certain areas of the sky.
This is the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Alternate Reality
The over saturated effect in this image of the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse gives it an other-worldly feel. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
This is a stylistic experiment for me. Every now and then, I try something totally out of my normal box. I like this image…but I’m not sure I’d like a lot of it.

Guarding the Peace
On a very peaceful morning, the Algoma, WI lighthouse stands at the harbor entrance, watching over a peaceful Lake Michigan at sunrise.
The early morning clouds and contrails created an interesting backdrop for the lighthouse. In fact, almost too busy. What do you think?

Fire Above
A unique effect, created by the sun highlighting the bottom of the clouds above the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. This was just moments before the sun would breach the Lake Michigan horizon. If you look closely, you can see fishermen on the pier, hoping for a bit of early morning angling action.
I take a lot of sunrise photos from the shore of Lake Michigan. I live a couple of miles from shore so I’m in the habit of looking to the sky a half hour or so before sunrise. If the sky shows any promise, and it’s a day when I don’t have to be somewhere else like work or church, I head to the beach.
You never know how it’s going to turn out. There are days when things look promising but the sky never makes good on that promise. But, on other days, it can be breathtaking.
I take a lot of sunrise photos because no two sunrises are the same….except those with no clouds at all. It’s the clouds that make a sunrise worth capturing. When I look to the early morning sky, I’m looking for cloud….usually light wispy ones. These weren’t wispy, but the effect was well worth the trip.
