A beautiful sunset over the serene Lake Michigan

I captured this Lake Michigan sunset just a few weeks ago on my way home from work.

The lake can be very peaceful and restorative, particularly on a summer evening.

There are a number of “commercialized” beaches in St. Joseph, this one is a bit more off the beaten path, and as a result, entirely empty a lot of the time, particularly on a weekday.

Enjoy! As always, I’d love to see what you think in the comments section!

During the winter, I actually took this photo on the same beach, probably less than 50 feet away.

And remember! If you are an HDR photographer, be sure to take a look at the HDR Spotting Invite Code Challenge: June Edition here. Less than a week left before the winner is announced!

Is it Spring Yet?

Is it Spring Yet? Is it Spring Yet?

Every year, around October or November, there comes a day when I realize I should have spent more time outside when it was warm and sunny out. However, around that time, the holiday season is upon us, so there are other things to think about.

I’ve always been an advocate of Christmas, and it doesn’t feel like Yuletide without a bit of cold and snow. However, around January 2nd, I realize that is has been cold and grey out just enough for one year, and I begin repeating the question to myself and anyone who will listen to me: “Why would anyone choose to live in the North?”

In any case, as I took this picture, I tried to appreciate the beauty of the sunset, but couldn’t help but think how much nicer it would have been if I wasn’t cold, and the sun was setting further north.
