The night sky

July 2, 2025Astronomy, SkyJonathan

Stars in a cloudless night sky above a tree line silhouette.

Playing around with astrophotography. I was trying to capture the faint Milky Way in the second photo while fighting the glow from city lights, and got a firefly photobomb!

Reany Falls

June 26, 2025WaterfallsJonathan

A small, multi level waterfall in the middle of some fairly dense foliage and moss covered rocks.

A small but beautiful waterfall in a secluded and serene spot near Marquette, Michigan. Well… it’s serene as long as you can tolerate all the mosquitos.

Hiking the shore

A small island close to the shore of a sandy beach under blue skies. Several large rocks are along the shore and out in the shallow water.

Still mining photos from my Upper Michigan trip. This is Little Presque Isle, another beautiful spot along Lake Superior.

Wright Street Falls

June 22, 2025Landscape, WaterfallsJonathan

A short, wide waterfall runs over rocky terrain. Pine trees and foliage are in the background under a blue sky.

There are a lot waterfalls near Marquette, Michigan (where I stayed when I was in the U.P.). Most are kind of off the beaten path, and require a bit of effort to find.

Miners Castle

June 18, 2025Geology, LakesJonathan

Tall rocky outcropping, which looks like a castle's turret, on the end of a short peninsula filled with tall trees. The peninsula juts out into very clear blue-green lake water.

At the bottom of of this outcropping is a small sample of the colored sandstone that gives Pictured Rocks its name. That type of formation is much larger and more prominent on the eastern side of the park.

Pine trees on a bluff along the shore of a sandy lagoon. The trees and blue sky are reflected in the lagoon's calm water.

A couple more scenes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, a lagoon at Sand Point and Sand Point Marsh.
