Though the light on the horizon is quite arresting, the highly detailed lichen covered rocks really steal the scene here.

Thanks Steven, Angus and everyone very much! This was probably the nicest morning I spent at IRNP with an extended spell of dramatic atmosphere to backdrop various views along the shore. About 45 minutes later, rain drops began to fall. Thanks everyone!

Primeiramente, me perdoe por escrever em português, mas, infelizmente não entendo inglês.
Há um ano estudo fotografia e estou absolutamente impressionado com a plástica de suas imagens; sua galeria é de muito bom gosto e apresenta um acabamento impecável!!
Parabéns mais uma vez pelo seu talento e competência!!!!
Um abraço!!

The color in those rocks is so brilliant. You are so lucky to live up there, and I am happy for you because you have such a talent for photographing this wild and wondrous landscape. I hope it gets preserved in perpetuity.

Been admiring your Great Lakes seascapes for some time. Love the comp on this one with the lichen-encrusted Lake Superior rock in the foreground. Just got back from a (first-time) 4-day trip to the UP. I can see why you love it up there!
