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.
The waterfalls on the Black River are very different than most of Michigan's waterfalls. Instead of jagged or sharp rocks, the falls are surround by conglomerate rock, which is a smooth rock created by the compression of many smaller pebbles (among other things). Of all of the falls on the Black River, Gorge Falls is my favorite. The gorge the waterfall is found in is really fascinating. I can imagine how the water eroded away the rock to create this beautiful area.
"The Pot Holes" can be found on the Presque Isle River in the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Through the years the rocks have been eroded away to create these impressive holes in the river bed.
