Rock Tower Rework

This is a shot from my November 2010 trip out west. I was not happy with the shot I posted then and decided to try it again with newer software and, I hope, some more skill and taste.

This massive structure, several thousand feet above the road made me stop for a shot. When one lives in the Midwest, as I do, such features are mind boggling. Sandstone structures like this, over thousands and millions of years, start as flat topped buttes and are gradually withered away to towers and then spires and finally needles. Many samples of all stages appear in this part of the world.

Christmas Eve Doe

Please View On Black

Margaret and I went to Kensington yesterday. The sun deserted us and the windy chill chased us away. Didn't get muchy to shoot although this doe got close enough for a shot.

Hunters Point - North Shore - Copper Harbor, Michigan

Please View On Black

I have loved this fairly easy hike from the boat launch at Copper Harbor for more than 35 years. With its ancient rocks, agate beaches, and of course, the incomparable Lake Superior.

Here is a link to a wonderful description by a native naturalist Jim Rooks:
