Beautiful shot! When I saw the thumbnail, I first thought of the UP, but wasn't sure until I saw your details. Glad to see it was :) Hope you had time to explore all over the UP, it's absolutely beautiful!

Well Sondra, Superb is a good word to use here. Your natural ability is shinning through.....Just beautiful......Jim

Beautiful color in the water, good detail. Regards john

Sondra, when did you go there?

Got a news few days back about falling one of the tower of miners castle. is it after that?

Nice colors.

Sondra,

Amazing colors! Interesting angle of view. Just curious what it will look like if you can possibly get down to the bank. Kind regards.

...Very nice photograph! Lake Superior is one of the most beautiful bodies of water and you did a beautiful job here depicting it. I especially like how you caught some of the waves breaking on the shore; not an easy thing to do at this location. Great color!

Michigan's UP is one of my all time favorite locations. For the past ten years or so I have made an annual excursion in Spring to the UP. My primary reason for going was to prove that I was smarter than the local trout; sometimes it worked out that I was, but usually not. Photographing the sites along the Lake Superior shore is also a strong incentive to go there; there are so many great locations. Miner's Castle, of course, was always at the top of my list.

I hope that this was not your first time visiting this spot. A couple of months ago, one of the large "turrets" of the castle crashed into Lake Superior. I see in this photograph that one is missing, so this is after the crash. For those who have not seen the way it originally was, you may view it here. From what I understand, a couple of guys were fishing in a boat were very near to the main formation when the turret came down. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Once again, Sondra, very nice! Regards.

Sondra, I think you've done a nice job capturing our wounded castle. Pictured Rocks is one of my favorites also. I hope you enjoyed your time in the UP. - Sean

Sean and Walter, this was my first trip to Michigan and I enjoyed the photo opportunities. It is a beautiful state. Cheers, Sondra

Lovely colours!

Thanks, to everyone for your support and interest. Cheers, Sondra

Delightful set of colors... I love the way you've taken an excellent advantage of a clear and bright day, and produced such a wonderful picture. A pleasure to share. Best regards.

Debasish, thanks for your comment, Sondra

I love it ... and I love Walter's attached reference image. How interesting the history of a place! I'll need to include this in my MI coastal tour. I really like the colors in the water that match the colors in the trees and the contrasting oranges.

Your perspective and colours are again really magnificent.
