A “laker” passes under the Mackinac Bridge heading from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. These boats can be up to 1,000′ long and often carry iron ore, coal, stone and grain. My sister and I were on watch one night as we were sailing with our parents between Beaver Island in Lake Michigan and Mackinac…
The stillness of a summer sunset, significantly impacted by smoke from the season’s wildfires, as we see the sun move lower over Little Strawberry and Chambers Islands and the waters of Green Bay – Peninsula State Park. This was a very difficult image to process. I wanted to protect the mood of the event, in…
