Beach Cruiser

I Wish it was Summer Every Day

I drive a 2002 Buick Le Sabre, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a sweet ride.

I took this over the weekend at Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan.

The tourists (a lot of them from…Illinois) have been invading St. Joseph and the onslaught is growing.

They (these….tourists) do such absurd things such as swim at our beaches, rent our summer homes, and bring money into our community. It’s no wonder we locals don’t like them.

Anyways, there is a carousel down by the beach in St. Joseph, and this car was parked outside, probably advertising some sort of event or product, I never really checked. I think it’s pretty cool; HDR really picks up a lot of the nice subtleties in automobiles.

Sunsetting

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!

Sapphire Princess

What are the chances?

Several years ago, I was blessed to go on a cruise to Alaska.

It was an amazing experience (not least of which because of who I was with).

I was in San Francisco this past month and as I walked down from Telegraph hill I happened upon the very same ship I took to Alaska, the Sapphire Princess. What are the chances!

In fact, the picture of me shown on the about page was taken on the promenade deck of said ship.

So I had to take a few pictures as it pulled into port.

Don’t forget! If you are an HDR photographer, be sure to take a look at the HDR Spotting Invite Code Challenge here.
