This little lighthouse tucked in the woods on the bay at Pictured Rocks was incredibly picturesque.

I've been attempting to learn deep space astrophotography for the past few months. Would you guys and gals be interested in seeing my progress every now and again? This was the Orian Nebula in the UP of Michigan for 6hrs taken with 20 second sub frames.

It turns out that the Lake Superior side of Michigan still has colorful leaves due to the (relatively) warm waters of the lake keeping the temperature on the coast just a bit higher at night. My eyes have not seen this much color contrasts from the blues of the water to the oranges and reds of the trees.

Usually once the leaves fall off the trees the tourists go home or somewhere where it's still peak season for fall colors. Personally, I like when a lot of the leaves fell off of the trees, the make for the perfect foregrounds.

My God, is northern lake Michigan gorgeous right now! Absolutely breathtaking.

I took this photo with my old Galaxy S24U...If you accuse me of using ai one more time then you'll be blocked.

One of my favorite aspects of fall is how the light hitting the leaves reflects rich warm tones onto it's surroundings including the cement similar to a sunset.

This tree made it against all odds. It doesn't complain or get resentful, it just does what it needs to do.

It's funny how you can have sun on one side of the Goldengate bridge and it be storming by the time you cross it.

Who would've thought that this beautiful mountain existed in Georgia? Certainly not I until I saw it with my own peepers.
