Sunrise
Smartly Cloudy
These fluffy clouds had a unique quality – enhanced by a partially hidden sunrise. The bright, back-lighting created a sharp silhouette of the lighthouse and piers that mark and separate the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor from Lake Michigan.

Radiating Warmth
A day! It has risen upon us from the great deep of eternity, girt round with wonder; emerging from the womb of darkness; a new creation of life and light spoken into being by the word of God.
~ E. H. CHAPIN, Living Words
The camera had a difficult time handling the full power of the morning sunrise at Kewaunee, WI. It was a blustery morning with strong winds and waves.
Normally, the blur created by seagulls flying in the upper left would bother me but, for some reason, I like them in this shot.

Beyond the Veil
The sun had risen well above the Lake Michigan horizon, but the clouds, acting as a veil, kept its full glory from illuminating the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier.
I really like the subtlety of texture and light behind the thin clouds and the blue hues of early morning.

Grassland Lighthouse
In a few moments, the sun will rise in the middle of this image. Before the blinding light breaches the horizon, the clouds create a dramatic background.
I’ve taken countless photos of this lighthouse and decided to take a lower angle. I lowered my tripod to just a foot or so above the ground – shooting through the beach grass.

Catching Some Waves
Two fishing buddies are casting for the early bite from the pier at Kewaunee, WI. The waves seemed particularly excited to see the sun that morning.

Lighthouse Eclipse
The sun is rising in this scene, however, you can’t see it because it is positioned directly behind the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse. The colors are bright and vivid, creating a unique atmosphere. The light of the lighthouse looks like it’s shining brightly, but it’s not from its own electric light; it’s the sun’s illumination. I particularly like the play of light on the water created by the low angle of the sun.
A few days ago, I posted another photo from this same location and angle. I processed it as the black and white image – Powerful Peace. They are similar images, but taken a day apart.

Powerful Peace
Yesterday morning, I was at the lakeshore to capture a sunrise. The thick clouds keep the sun from view…until…
The bright sun finds it’s way through the heavy cloud cover over Lake Michigan as fishermen troll near the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier.

Hope On the Horizon
The best colors of the morning sky happen a little before sunrise. This is the view, from the south pier, of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor and lighthouse. In a few minutes, the sun will rise over Lake Michigan.
If you look at the larger version of this image, you’ll be able to see the glow of the familiar red light from the lighthouse. To view a larger version, click on the photo.
Morning Rest
As the sun was rising over lake Michigan it appeared to pause for a moment’s rest on the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse.
This seems like the perfect Autumn color scheme, but this photo was taken last May.

Shoreline Stroll
Just before sunrise is the perfect time for strolling along the Lake Michigan shoreline. In the distance rests the Kewaunee lighthouse and pier.
