Last month on a fall color trip I got to enjoy a beautiful sunrise and sunset on two of the Great Lakes.
What a soothing and peaceful sunrise I had this day on Lake Huron! The only sounds to be heard were of gulls, ducks, and geese as they appeared on the scene as daylight broke! This was the beginning.
After a day of hunting for scenic places with fall color I went out along Lake Michigan for a sunset. It was what I call a nearly endless sunset. It didn’t get going with much color at first, but when it did, it didn’t want to stop! I stayed photographing the color until I knew I really had to leave. Even after I left the scene I had a hard time keeping my eye off of the side and rear view mirror as the color kept changing!
You know what they say about Red Sky at Night? A sailors delight! I have to say that it was for sure, the night was clear and the waters smooth. The next day also brought beautiful clear weather. I guess the mariners of old knew their skies! 🙂
Very nice, especially the sunrise.
Thanks very much Jonathan!! 🙂
That first image is so pure, so simple, so beautiful. What a joy it must have been to be there and see that, Rachel
Thanks so much Andy! It was a peaceful morning for sure! 🙂
LOVE this shots, Rachel, very strong abstract tendencies in these images. Fabulous colors. Makes you want to pull up a chair on the side of the shore and take it all in!!
Hi Toad, thanks so much! I certainly agree with you! I’m so glad you popped over and had a look! 🙂
