East Channel Lighthouse // Munising, Michigan

One day I'll be smart about it and get some outdoor pictures that include some of my rope art. Until then you'll just have to keep getting both in separate posts.

Here is a picture of a rock formation on the west side of Grand Island near Munising, MI

#LakeSuperior #PicturedRocks #RockPosting #KatPics #NaturePhotography

You can see the small hills in the distance across the water beyond this rock formation in front of you. The water is very clear but the surface is still reflective. A sort of flat-ish smoothly textured rock surface forms a platform just above the waters surface. Soft divots pool with water that's splashed up from the lake. A taller formation juts above to the left with sharp-ish but smooth looking faces and edges. Moss and lichen take advantage of the texture to make a home and you can see some plant matter atop this boulder as well.

I really like the texture here carved from the wind, ice and waves that invariably crash against this cliff. So many nooks! The moss and lichen were thriving in this environment which made me happy.

#NaturePhotography #KatPics #RockPosting

The rockface towers above the viewer, rugged and textured. There are clear striations of sandstone with reddish brown streaks from the iron. The layered divots being eroded by waves, ice, and wind are abundantly visible forming a sort of set of inverted terraces that become smaller and closer together closer to the top.

Moss and lichen are also growing in various flat patches along the wall. Sandstone tends to "peel" in flakes when chipped at by the forces of nature.

A tree is visible in the foreground for scale. Some of its branches are missing along the middle as happens in windy environments. Some shrubs are visible near the top of the rockface as well adding a little contrast to the cloudy sky above.

This one is near a little alcove that is pretty neat. You can see a part of it on the right. If I had posted only the alcove it wouldn't make as much sense visually. It's very pretty. The water is a gorgeous green hue, partially from the copper in the lake. It's a teal blue in deeper parts.

A picture taken from the water of a maybe 30ft cliffside that arches outward near the top as the water has carved scoops out of the face. The shallow looking water is quite green and you can see the sandstone mudstone flats beneath. The rock face is banded with dark black and brown flakes/stripes along with the light sandy brown tones at different layers. The over-cropping has various shrub and tree branches hanging off as much as they can, you can make out some spots of lichen growth and depending on where you look you may be able to spot some fungi but they may not be as visible in this particular image.

I hope I don't wear folx out with more rocky features. I will get back to posting selfies and rope pics very soon, don't worry!

This one is from the western part of Grand Island near Munising. I feel like it looks like a sort of helmet but I'm blanking on how to describe it.

In the alt text I went with describing it as an Amtrak cabbage car, which isn't bad, but not the descriptor I was looking for.

A picture of a rock feature on the western side of Grand Island. It's part of the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore. The cliffs resemble a helmet of some sort facing to the right stop the water. It's not dissimilar to an Amtrak cabbage car. The rock face itself is striped muted burgundy and muted sandy yellow/cream. Various plants and trees cover the top of most of the rocks, including a sharp thin slope down one side of the helmet feature, nearly reaching the cold teal green water. Even with a disrupted surface, the downward visibility is excellent and you can see the shallow floor in this section. There is a steep drop off as you go farther from shore.

I still haven't sorted through all the pictures I took this weekend. Especially the DSLR pics, as those are on an SD card and I need to filter through several hundred files, tweak/tune, etc. before those will be "postable"

Fortunately, phone pictures are easy to sort through on the go. Even if the quality isn't quite as good, they're certainly not bad. Here is one of the rock formations we checked out while exploring around the Munising area

A rock formation on Grand Island, MI as viewed from a boat in Lake Superior. The water is a distinctive gitchi-gumi teal color with minimal waves, mostly from the wake of the boat. The beautiful sedimentary rocks form a triangular archway. You can see some more of the pictured rocks national shoreline through the other side under cloudy but still bright skies.

Wishing I was back at last weekend's end of season backpacking adventure on the #NorthCountryTrail #PicturedRocks #NationalLakeShore #LakeSuperior #Mosstadon Had to cancel the year before due to major storm, but this year lucked out with perfect weekend weather and we kept the total mileage short to explore more near each campsite, that was a brilliant choice.

View of Lake Superior from high cliff shoreline. The water is several shades of blue and you can see limestone boulders beneath the surface. A shoreline rock formation is seen that form an archway.

Limestone cliff covered in moss with interesting holes and other worn formations highlighted from the dappled sunlight and shadow falling across the cliff face.

Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore lies on the southern shore of Lake Superior outside of Munising, Michigan. There are miles of trails to hike, beaches to lie on, and of course, Lake Superior to swim in if you dare.

Pictured Rocks Petit Portal
We caught a boat out of Munising for a "3 Hour Tour".
Once we reached Sand Point we were exposed to the beautiful shoreline that is Pictured Rocks. The colors in the cliffs and the rock formations make for a bbeautiful boat ride.
This formation is known as the Petit Portal, otherwise known as Lovers Leap.

Pictured Rocks Petit Portal

This is an image of the Petit Portal at the fabulous Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior just outside of Munising, Michigan.
In the foreground are the choppy waters of Lake Superior. The sky overhead is mostly cloudy and overcast.
The shoreline is 42 miles long and the cliffs along the shore can reach 200 feet from the water.
In this image the Petit Portal is left center in the image with cliff face of pictuerd rocks filling in the right side of the image. The Petit Portal and surrounding area have a mix of hardwood and pine trees on top of the cliff faces.

Spent a lovely day at #PicturedRocks National Lakeshore - it became the nation’s first national lakeshore back in the 1960s. It also marks the third lake of this #GreatLakes road trip: the mighty Lake Superior!
