Straining to Interpret the Sky
Vibrant hues of orange and pink blend across the sky just before the sun rises over a calm Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, WI. The lighthouse stands alone on the horizon, silhouetted against the colorful backdrop.
This is a large image – vertical panorama. It was the only way I could fit the substantial lake foreground and the expansive sky into the frame.

Fishing by the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse stands at the end of a long pier – a spot often occupied by fishermen. If you look closely, you will see their silhouettes. (Click on the photo to see an enlarged version.)

Loving the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier is dwarfed by the big, beautiful, dramatic sky at sunrise. The calm water reflects the colorful twilight hues of the clouds.
I just happened to be in Kewaunee last weekend and made it a point to get up way before I needed to for church to capture some sunrise views from the beach. This was actually snapped about 20 minutes before sunrise. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this sunrise as a 7 or 8. It was good enough to provide a number of good images…which I will be working on in the coming weeks.
This is a panorama of two combined shots. You can get a better, larger view by clicking on the photo.

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.

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.

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.

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.
