While passing through Charlevoix, Michigan, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out the Charlevoix Lighthouse as I have never seen it in person before. I was treated to a very moody lighthouse due to massive fog that was in the area. It was so foggy that I couldn't even see my car parked near the beach. Not only was the fog very cool but some of the ice formation were pretty cool as well. Over the winter the waves created a wall of ice near the railing and with warmer temperatures it caused the ice wall to be hollowed out. If you look closely you can see the stalactites and stalagmites.
This was caught looking south on Whitefish Bay National Forest Scenic Byway South of Paradise, Michigan on August 2nd 2016.
Even though it started to rain, snow then sleet, I didn't stop looking for the beauty of fall. I have always loved seeing the contrast between white birch trees with fall colors but had never found that ideal shot I had sought after for years. I finally found the scene I had envisioned and the rain/wetness actually aided in its beauty. This beautiful scene was found in Marquette, Michigan
