Foggy Lakefront

From a walk along Muskegon’s downtown lakefront on a foggy November morning.

Besides the fence at Heritage Landing, the fog made the dock pilings, the roundabout statue, and the congregational church all look great.

Phoning It In

Here are a couple tries at low-light photos with a handheld smartphone.

Above is the old depot in Muskegon, Michigan. And below are the parking lot lights behind Fricano’s on Muskegon Lake.

Emily Illuminated

Lest you think that our cats are allowed outside to howl at the moon (or for any other reason), this is Emily in front of a night light.

Long Shots

From another early morning walk along Muskegon Lake. The first is of the Kirksey dock. The other is looking across the lake towards Muskegon from the kiosk on the bike trail.

Both were taken way before sunrise, so the camera shutter had to be open for several seconds before it would capture much of anything. This is why the surface of the lake looks so crazy. Most ripples and waves tend to disappear in a long exposure.

Monday Morning Meander

A large hole in the kayak will keep the morning journeys ashore for a few days. Given the gorgeous flowers blooming along Muskegon’s Lakeshore bike trail, this is by no means a hardship.

From a walk along Muskegon Lake this morning before the first ever Muskegon Heritage Village Garden and Car Show.

The photo below is very odd. It almost looks as if the dock is pasted over a lake background. It isn’t.

Currency Depreciation

After so many trips up the Muskegon River this summer, it was a nice break to spend Friday morning on the lake.

Beguiling Blossoms

It was a long trip to the Muskegon Farmers Market last Saturday. Not measured in distance, but rather in time. The flowers along the Lakeshore Bike Trail were so beautiful that as soon as you had a photo of one, the next would seem even prettier.

Here are just a few of the reasons that breakfast was finally consumed at lunchtime.
