When heading into the ice caves it is best to pick an area where there is no ice above you because they could fall without notice. With that being said I wanted to see what it looked like under them without risking injury. So I put my camera on my tripod, set in on a timer and slid the tripod under the massive icicles. I pulled it back after the timer went off and came back with this shot. I thought it was really interesting that among the many layers of ice, the most colorful area was the center and closest to the rock wall.
When I first saw picture of this lighthouse I just had to go see it for myself and you can see why. White Shoal Lighthouse was 1st lit in 1910 and stands 121 feet tall. It also proudly carries the role of the only barber pole (red/white) lighthouse in the US. I couldn’t help but snap as many shots as I could of this unique lighthouse during an awesome sunset.
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.
