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.

Frigid Sunrise Fog
It was a mighty cold Sunday morning in Algoma, Wisconsin! The temperature was right around zero. The harbor was mostly frozen.
A mist was rising from the small area of open water in the harbor. Beyond the harbor, the larger body of open water we call Lake Michigan, created a fog bank that picked up the color of the rising sun (peeking from behind the lighthouse).

Shark Tank Trident
Sharks swim in and out of this scene I photographed at the Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Lesser of Two Lights
Normally the sky in my sunrise photos are mostly hues of orange and red. This one was caught as the sun is just barely breaking the horizon – not up enough to color the whole sky, only the area nearest the horizon.
This is the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin – located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Algoma Morning Scene
Man, I love mornings like this!
This is the lighthouse at Algoma, WI accentuated by the early light of the rising sun filtered through the clouds above a calm Lake Michigan.

Splendour Rising
Fishermen welcome the rising sun at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Dramatic Calm
Lots of gold-tone goodness in this one. The sun has just come up over a calm Lake Michigan, but is being obscured and filtered by clouds. This, of course, is the lighthouse that stands ever vigilant at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.
The soft tone of the sky relaxes you, but the clouds add a bit of dramatic tension at the same time.

Tidal Moon
A late-summer full moon rises over Lake Michigan, just behind the pier and lighthouse at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.
I captured this image on September 30, 2012. I remember it was a late Sunday afternoon when the Green Bay Packers were playing the New Orleans Saints. It was a close game and I debated whether to miss it and hope for a good photo or just stay home and finish watching the game. I listened to it on the radio as I drove to Algoma, but I missed the end of the game because I was out near the beach taking photos.
When I got back to my van, I heard the Packers won 28 to 27. I hated to miss the game, but I’m glad I did. Full moon photos like this don’t come along every day.
