Some ports are lucky to have more than one lighthouse and Grand Haven, Michigan is one of those lucky places. This beautiful inner lighthouse stands 51 feet tall and was first lit in 1905. I really liked the reflection of the inner lighthouse with the outer lighthouse in the background and of course the beautiful sunset.
Jagged pieces of blue ice fought for space near the Mackinac Bridge last winter during a somewhat rare phenomenon. The ice appears blue because the lack of oxygen in the ice. These blue ice piles were stacked in some places more than 30 feet tall and the ice itself ranged from paper thin to more than 24 inches thick.
Usually the northern lights are drowned out by a full moon, however that wasn't the case this August when I saw them in Copper Harbor, Michigan. Normally you shoot away from bright lights for night photography but I decided to switch it up and take a shot of the full moon and the northern lights. I loved how the northern lights and the full moon fought to be the brightest light.
