Photographer Christopher Kierkus and his wife had just left Fayette, Michigan to drive out to Peninsula Point Light Station. There were thunderstorms in the area and one of them collaborated with the sun to produce this beautiful display which he captured from the side of the road.

One must take a boat ride to catch this point of view of the Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula. Over millions of years water dripping down the rock cliffs along the Lake Superior shoreline have left mineral deposits. The beauty of the Pictured Rocks is quite evident in this image captured by Tom Haxby.

Photographer Steven Huyser-Honig explains, “Several inches of fresh snow had fallen overnight and the sub-zero temperatures assured it stayed fluffy and white. I spent the day snowshoeing throughout Tahquamenon Falls State Park, which I seemed to have all to myself. As evening approached I found this lovely overlook of one of the cataracts that make up the lower falls.”
