It is hard to believe these trees once towered over this area. I loved the character in each one of them. Silver Lake Sand Dunes is a unique place in Michigan that is well worth the visit.
It may be the smallest drop waterfall on the Presque Isle River (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park) but its crest (width) makes up for its size. Depending on river volume this waterfall can spread up to 150 feet. This photograph is Manido Falls with a crest around 50 feet. I liked the water volume at this level because it really shows the textures and details of the underlying rocks. At these water levels it also forces the water to find different routes, almost creating a wrap around staircase effect.
It seemed like every road you drove down was incredible for fall colors this year in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was really hard not to stop at every turn of the road and snap shots like this. Beautiful scenes like this were not without obstacles, just hours before I shot this it was white out conditions that made the roads undrivable. I'll take a little snow for scenes like this any day.
