Went up to Traverse City last weekend and made it out to Empire for sunset. Taken from the top of one of the dunes (I don’t think it has a name) just south of Empire. We kind of got robbed of a true sunset because of the low clouds that… Continue reading
This is your comedic interlude before some pictures of slot canyons in Grand Staircase Escalante. It’s a cow. An angry looking cow. On a wall. Watching over a toilet. I have no further details or better explanation. Picture taken with Sony a6000, E PS 16-50mm lens @ 16mm, f/3.5, 1/30… Continue reading
I’m paranoid when it comes to this kind of activity – I don’t like the idea of falling through the ice into 32 degree water. Not that it wouldn’t have been cool to go tromp around on the icebergs, but when I can see the melt spots, I’m staying off… Continue reading

What might be a better rendering on the sunset in Grand Haven this weekend. Newer version first, yesterday’s daily-photo version second.

Another part to yesterday’s story. It was cold – 25F with a breeze. This is to be expected given that it’s Michigan at the end of January. I didn’t have a hat, or more accurately, wasn’t aware that I had a hat available, so I was keenly aware of how… Continue reading
I was in Muskegon for an archery shoot and figured I’d head down to Grand Haven to check out the ice on Lake Michigan. I thought it was going to be too early to catch sunset and didn’t really want to wait around. Turns out I was right on time… Continue reading
