A hole in the clouds allowed for the sun to put a spotlight on the rocks at the base of Miner's Castle at the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It only happened for a few seconds at a time as the cloud cover was pretty heavy. The first time it happened I was facing the wrong way so I patiently waited for another hole in the clouds and just hoped it would hit the rocks again. Luckily after about 20 minutes it happened again and was well worth the wait.
With so many waterfalls in the Keweenaw peninsula it is hard to pick which ones to visit. After much debate I picked Middle Hungarian Falls because I liked the large rock face the waterfall comes over and the secluded area you can hang out and view these falls.
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.
