Lake Michigan
Good Evening Kewaunee
Like a pudgy, pink ghost rising from the sea, the full moon begins its ascent over Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier.
This was the full moon of April 25, 2013.

On Golden Pond
The early morning light bathed the scene in warm, gold tones. The way the water was reflecting that warm tone is what caught my eye here. The lone Canada Goose just added a point of interest.
This really isn’t a pond setting. It was taken at the beach in Algoma, WI, on the western shore of Lake Michigan. I was sitting in my van, parked on the road, using a telephoto lens.

Fishing Light
The full moon and lighthouse presented a dramatic backdrop for a couple preparing to fish off the pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. When ready, they would cast a seine net over the side and illuminate the surface of the water with their lantern, hoping to attract small Lake Michigan fish – smelt.
The evening was much darker than it appears in this image and I was a lot farther away than one would think at first glance. I was on shore which put the lighthouse about 750 feet away. The moon had to be at least three or four times that far. 😉

Dreamsicle
Something about the color of the sky and reminded me of Dreamsicles.
This, of course, is the lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. The rising sun is positioned directly behind the navigational marker on the other side of the channel leading to the harbor. This was the sunrise, as I saw it, on Saturday, April 20, 2013.

On the Horizon
The sun barely breaches the horizon of Lake Michigan as the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse finishes another watch.
The rich hues really make this image a keeper for me.

Mystic Rock
This interesting piece of glass caught my eye, being rolled around by gentle waves lapping the shore of Lake Michigan. Early morning light gives it a glowing, mystic quality.
This image was taken on the same morning as the previous post – Early Morning Meeting.

Early Morning Meeting
A gentle Lake Michigan sunrise highlights the lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, WI.
If you look closely, you can see a person at the end of the pier, taking in the morning’s glory. I took this image from the beach last Saturday.

Sunrise Genesis
An early morning view of the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse on Saturday, March 30, 2013.
This photo was taken at the very moment the sun began to breach the horizon. You can see it. It’s that short bright orange dash on the horizon to the right of the lighthouse.
You can see it better by clicking on the image for a larger version. (Provided you have a decent sized monitor.)
Nirvana
The morning light had an unusual quality over a calm Lake Michigan, accentuated by a sky of interesting clouds.
This scene of the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier was taken from Algoma’s beach.

Solitude on Ice
The morning was cold. The sun was rising…and so was a mist from the patches of open water near the lighthouse that stands at the Alogma, Wisconsin harbor.
I posted a color image from this same morning a week ago – Frigid Sunrise Fog.
