Morning Orange
You will find the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse perched on the end of a long pier. On the morning of this brilliant, orange sunrise, a seagull adds an additional point of interest as it soars gracefully by.
This is a ten-year-old image. It was taken in June of 2014. I had taken it, processed it, but, somehow, never posted it. I happened to find it this week and thought it was worthy of note. So, take note. 🙂 This photo doesn’t live up to the quality of my current work, but I think it is still worthy to be shared. I hope the viewers agree.

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.

This Side of Heaven
The Chapel of the Ozarks overlooks beautiful Table Rock Lake. It is an attraction and wedding venue at Top of the Rock, Ridgedale, Missouri.
The promotional materials claim this stone chapel rests at the highest point in Taney County, Missouri. The back wall of this chapel is a curved, floor to ceiling glass wall that provides a panoramic view of the lake and valley.
This is a panoramic image created by stitching two photos together to give you this wide view.

Path to Glory
The upper half of the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse was framed by contrail streaks just before sunrise. Algoma is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
It was a crazy sky that morning. There were low, dark clouds on the horizon and high, light wispy clouds above. Adding to the crazy were a number of contrails being highlighted by the hidden sun. There were more contrails than what you see here. Watch for another, wider shot from this same morning that I plan on posting in the near future.

Adjusting to the Morning Light
The clouds and the rising sun seem to be collaborating to provide the right balance of color and light. This is an early morning view of Bass Lake, Indiana in September.
I love the way the sunrise is illuminating the low, misty kind of clouds in the upper right half of this scene. Give me a lake with interesting clouds and a rising sun any day.

Wisps of Grandeur
A tranquil sunrise casts warm hues across the sky behind the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier. The calm waters of the harbor offer a colorful welcome to fishing boats as the day dawns.

Timeworn Topography
A rugged Badlands landscape features a prominent rock formation layered with sedimentary rock. I took this shot while driving through the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. (My wife was actually doing the driving.)
When processing this image, I spent a good deal of time experimenting with replacing the sky. The sky you see is the sky that was present at the time of this photo. I think it looks pretty lackluster and wondered if I could get a more dramatic look. Everything I tried just didn’t seem to fit so I left it au natural.

Misty River Reflection
A calming sun rises over a bend in the Kewaunee River in northeast Wisconsin. warm light pierces the morning mist hugging the banks of the river. The calm water reflects the trees and sky, creating a symmetrical balance between nature’s elements.
This spot was a half mile down the road from our rural Kewaunee home. Most times, in search for a sunrise, I would pass by this spot on my way to the Lake Michigan shore to catch the sunrise along side the lighthouse. I believe the morning mist on the water caught my eye and garnered my attention.
