Flattering Imitation

The harbor seemed to be trying to imitate the deep red color of the pre-sunrise clouds behind the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse.  Algoma is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

I was impressed with the vivid colors in the water’s reflection. The red reminded me of blood in the water.  I almost named is something like that, but thought it was too grim for such a pretty scene.

I took this photo off the south pier, lying on my stomach, trying to get the camera as close to the surface of the water as possible. At those moments, you can be sure I have a death grip on the camera. It would not be a fun day if the camera slipped out of my hands and under the water.
