Tranquil sunset in Lake Michigan.
While walking around the Silver Lake Sand Dunes State Park in Mears, Michigan, I found many trees that lost their battle with the elements and are now merely stumps that are tossed around the dunes year after year. However, there was one, alive, right in the middle of the dunes that persevered through the sometimes harsh elements.
