- I wonder where this log came from?
Wisconsin?
"Lighthouse Dawn" Point Betsie Lighthouse, Lake Michigan Front page explore # 2 Oct. 31, 2010

This photo is a little deceiving I had to walk up the beach
backwards because the wind was blowing so hard the sand was like
needles in my face. It was blowing parallel with the shore gusting
at least 60mph.
The morning sun was just peaking over the dune behind Point Betsie.
This photo really does look better with the black background just hit the L button on your keyboard!

Great shot, John! It sure was quite a storm--I've certainly seen higher winds during bad thunderstorms, but those are always over with in a matter of minutes. This one was a consistent 50+ mph storm that lasted for 2 days. Great work to get this--that's some real dedication.

Another awesome pic John! Those clouds are so cool looking, and really give the shot a complete look. I also love that little splash by the log. Tons of cool things to see in this photo.

Nice framing, the morning light makes for an interesting tonal range. I just might like this one better than the other Point Betsie shot. . .
