Lighthouse
Morning Star
The sun was fighting to peek through the clouds as it rose over Lake Michigan and the lighthouse and harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin.
The sharp lines extending from the bright sunlight was achieved by using a Star Filter on the camera lens. Because of the cloud cover, this scene was rather dark when I captured. That’s also why there is a lot of camera noise (that grainy look) after brightening it with photo software.

Big Red
This fireworks burst turned the water red. This was part of the 26th annual Shanty Days celebration in Algoma, Wisconsin – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
The fireworks are launched from the pier and people line the shore to watch the fun. As you can see, I was positioned on the beach, at the waters edge. If you’re familiar with the area, you might recognize the Algoma lighthouse – it’s that little red dot on the far right of the photo, just above the water.

Shroud of Clouds
On an early Sunday morning, I was able to snap a few interesting images. In this shot, an unusual cloud formation kept the sun from fully dominating this view of the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier. And then again, maybe the sun held it’s own.

Summer Escape
Algoma, Wisconsin may be the perfect summer port. This is a view of the sun rising over Lake Michigan behind the lighthouse and piers that form the harbor at Algoma.
I snapped this photo the Sunday morning of Algoma’s 26th annual Shanty Days Festival weekend. Don’t miss the the fishing boat in the harbor, heading out for the morning’s catch.

Lighthouse Companion
A full moon rising over Lake Michigan was a complimentary, short-term companion to the lighthouse at Kewaunee. Moments after this image was taken, the moon slipped behind some clouds. Kewaunee, Wisconsin is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Kewaunee Lighthouse at Sunrise
This is one of my earliest photos. It was taken with a primitive (by today’s standards) consumer-grade,5mp digital camera. It was capturing photos like this that made me want to take more.
I was going fishing in on Lake Michigan in my canoe, putting in from the beach at Kewaunee. When I arrived, before sunrise, this is the scene I found. The clouds had such an unusual quality I decided to try and get a photo. There wasn’t much light and I didn’t have a tripod, so to steady the camera I held it on top of a post by the parking lot. As you can see, that worked well.
I don’t remember if I caught any fish that day, but I will always remember that sky. By the way, I wasn’t the only one there to fish that morning. If you look close, you can see two fishermen on the end of the pier.

Amber Waves
Just before sunrise, the sky took on an amber hue and the clouds seemed to mirror the calm wave action of the water.
In the distance, you can see the pier and lighthouse of Kewaunee, Wisconsin.

Rising Above
This is the lighthouse at the end of the pier in Kewaunee, WI. The sun rising over Lake Michigan created some unusual tones on this morning – due, I believe, to the low, thicker clouds that muted the light on the horizon.

Comforting Glow
It hard to beat the beauty of a sunrise filling the sky with color and the waves with sparkles. This is one of my favorite subjects – the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin as the sun rises over Lake Michigan.
