My wife and I spent the Thanksgiving weekend near the Porcupine Mountains on the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, right at the shore of beautiful Lake Superior. Our mini vacation was marked by the final arrival of winter. This photo was taken just before a big storm that came with heavy winds and snow. It was the last time that we saw the sun. Clouds in the background, the low sun, and little icicles on a drifting log, created by the breaking waves, were the perfect ingredients for this picture. Next day the sky was covered with grey clouds, the waves were much higher, and the log was covered with frozen sand. Not nearly as nice as the evening before. I like the color version of this image too, but I believe the B/W reflects the magic of the moment better, the moment before winter arrived…
