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.
This point in Presque Isle Park located in Marquette, Michigan is appropriately named; Sunset Point. I could spend hours at this park, it has so much to offer. Sunrises, sunsets, rocks cliffs, rocky shores and did I say sunsets….I mean just look at this sunset!!!
