Kewaunee
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.

Winter Convention
The geese were thick as thieves as they congregated on the December ice covering the harbor at Kewaunee, WI. These are wild, Canada geese.
The early morning light provided an interesting quality to this scene…which I enhanced further, taking a little artistic licence.

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.

Lake Spirits Rising
Wispy clouds, illuminated by the rising sun, provided an interesting backdrop to the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier. Kewaunee is a small community on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Blue Morning Whispers
Just before the sun rises over Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse, the soft clouds speak in subtle whispers to those who have ears to hear.

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.

Lapping at the Shore
Sun Day
Upward Call
The sea gulls soar upward as the sun beams stream downward over Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. Since the colors were somewhat muted, I decided to convert this one to a monochrome look.
