 A gale on Lake Michigan. Lighting not great, but lots of wind and waves. Even with the tri-pod, it was challenging to keep the camera steady.

Nicely done. I love your St. Joe's captures. If wind/temp conditions are right for a good icing over this winter, message me. I will drive over and meet you there.

Great atmospheric photo. Surprised to read it is a lake. I just assumed it was the sea.

This is wonderful! Perfect moment, like the movement as well as the colour combination of the troubled, the more calm water and the sky. Congrats on the Yellow!

A dear friend lives in St. Joe and when visiting her many years ago we went to that spot - but it was summer and plain blue sky - not very impressive.
Your picture wants me to go back there during winter. Must be awesome with icicles too
