The rugged shoreline near the rock formation known as Indian Head shows evidence of the destruction caused by Michigan's wicked winters. Although not as obvious from this angle, Indian Head is named because the rock formation resembles an Indian's head. Many major rockfalls have happened over the years and one of those major rockfalls can been seen to the right of Indian Head.
Star trails are caught by a long exposure photograph or photographs. The camera makes it look like the stars are moving around the North Star but in reality it is the earth's rotation causing this spinning appearance. You can view the "spinning" of the stars with the naked eye by finding the Milky Way and observing the movement over time. This photograph is a stack of 399 images, giving 2 hours and 13 minutes of movement. A brief appearance of the northern lights is always a welcomed treat! Northport, Michigan October 2017
The Silver Lake Sand Dunes State Park has two sections of the park; one with beautiful sand whipped dunes that would make you think you were walking around in a southwestern desert and the other is a paradise for off-roading adventure lovers, jumping their off road vehicles over the steep dunes.
