I shot this image the same evening as the Lake Superior Sunset 5325 image I posted recently. This is a view of the shoreline cliffs on Lake Superior near Superior Falls, in the northwoods of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Looking at these images takes me back to that beautiful spring evening, watching the sun go down and the sky light up, listening to the gentle waves washing ashore and rattling the beach rocks. You really had to be there, but I hope they give you some small taste of what it was like.

Please do comment or email to let me know what you think (or better, feel)!

March already! Here’s my next desktop wallpaper / calendar image, again in two image sizes, one wider than the other.

To set an image as your desktop wallpaper, just right-click (PC) / control-click (Mac) on one of the links below and save the image to your desktop or some other location where you’ll be able to find it again. Then right-click (PC) / control-click (Mac) on the image and select the option to make it your Desktop Background / Picture.

Even easier, some browsers will let you set it as your Desktop Background / Picture directly from their context menu when you right-click (PC) / control-click (Mac).

I shot this in May 2008, but didn’t process it until now – I’m not sure why, as now I rather like it. Maybe I’m just in the mood for a warm sunset on the shore of Lake Superior, listening to the rhythmic slap of the waves rolling in… Just in case others are in the same mood, I’m making this the background for my March calendar, too.

This is the view from the beach by Superior Falls, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It’s another one of those spots I visit frequently on my trips to the northwoods, and I have a few other images from this location in the galleries.

As always, please feel free to post a comment below to let me know what you think!

Here’s a little rime for daughter Bri and grandson Jake, who share a birthday today. Wisconsin winter wonderland photo was taken this morning here in Beloit.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Soft rime is a white ice deposition that forms when the water droplets in light freezing fog or mist freeze to the outer surfaces of objects, with calm or light wind. The fog freezes usually to the windward side of tree branches, wires, or any other solid objects.
Now you know that, too.

Happy Birthday! Love you both! :^D

Rock Cut Winter Road – Photographer’s Cut

January 11, 2010

This is a different cropping of one of the images I posted for New Year’s Day. After I’d looked at the original image for a while, I realized that this was the image I was really after (for now, at least).
This seems to be a bit of a pattern with me… I could get a [...]
