Opps... woke up too late

Well, I drove to "Miner Falls" which is close by, got out, put on my camera backpack which is fairly heavy, hiked 1.2 miles, and got there too late. I had time to take one quick digital picture but the sun was peaking over the ridge I was facing... Oh well. Here is the quick pic:

On the way back, I stopped and took some pictures of the country side and town. These are not touched up much in photoshop. The colors really are that dramatic:

And, of course, the day's trek:

Wagner Falls

I plan to go back to these falls. It is deep in the woods with no light. The obvious shot is this one:

But I don't like the top half.  So, I turned the camera and took this shoot.  I think it has a lot more promise.

And, for fun, a nice sunset:

For the curious, here is my trek for the day.

Sunday in Munising

Woke to 33 degrees but clear skys.  Fog lifting up off the lake:

Plotted some falls to see and noticed I had past Scott Falls when I drove in yesterday.  It was close by so I found it.

Then just tooled around and found a pretty road...

And, finally a map of today's adventures:

Camping at Kitchi Gami

I troddled over to Munising MI today into fairly cold, windy, and sometimes wet weather.  It is raining outside my tent right now.  I broke out the Antarctic jackets when I was pitching the tent.  Go ahead and call me a wimp but at least I'm here doing this... Where are you?

The GPS, on its own, decided to take me to Bond Falls.  There are more evergreen trees here and it seems drier.  Still some neat pictures:

Here is a picture of the weather at the lake towards sunset.  Pretty neat clouds.

Here is the path for the day:

Moving on... Saturday Oct 2nd

I plan on moving on from my cousin's cabin to Munising, MI.  This is up on the coast of Lake Superior.

Here are a few pictures.  One would be good to use as wallpaper.  The others I took on the 1st.  The last is a picture of "The Wooden Tent" as my cousin and her husband call it.

Another day, Another Prop -- Sep. 29th

My cousin suggested using the canoe for a prop.  This is my third attempt.

Relaxing -- Tuesday morning Sep. 28th

One of the "props" that I use is two chairs looking out over a scene.  This was suggested to me by a friend several years ago.  This image is actually a composite of three images taken at different exposure to capture the wide range.  Anyhow... enjoy:
