Just past this edge is a 200 foot drop. As you can see the tough weather off of Lake Superior have whipped away the dirt surrounding the roots. In the distance you can see Grand Portal Point (Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, near Munising, Michigan).
Sunrises like these almost make me rethink not being a morning person, well, almost. I arrived in the dark to make sure I would be there for the first light. I snapped this shot just as the sun was starting to come up. The sun was being muted by some thin clouds near the horizon but I loved the way the muted light hit the rocks in the foreground. It really shows to the mood of the morning with the waves crashing on the unique rocks.
This was one of the best sunset afterglows I have seen and what better place to experience it than at the frozen St. Joseph Lighthouse in St. Joseph, Michigan. It didn't matter which way you looked, the colors were everywhere.
