In Michigan, as fall begins to fade and winter approaches, our weather becomes more dramatic.
Rain, sleet, snow, and high winds are all too common. During the evening hours and into the morning, forty mile per hour winds were predicted. When you live near a large body of water that can only mean one thing, BIG WAVES!
Before The sun was up I was in my car and on my way to Grand Haven, Mi. Grand Haven has one of the best pier and lighthouses on the Great Lakes (my opinion).
I arrived at the State Park at sun rise, even though it was partly cloudy. The sustained winds were blowing 25-40 miles per hour, and COLD! The waves were running about 8 to 12 feet.
I quickly set up my tripod and camera and began capturing the awesome power of Lake Michigan.
The sun broke through the clouds briefly on two occasions to make the scene even more dramatic.
Here are just a few of the 250 plus exposures I made.
