The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is very remote and wild and I have always wanted to visit it. A wedding in Michigan provided the perfect excuse :-). Within this peninsula lies Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Resting against the rough shores of Lake Superior, it is a true gem for nature lovers. One of the highlights for us was trekking 3 miles throught the woods to emerge on an amazing beach with towering sandstone cliffs! Its name is Chapel Beach and it was spectacular! We took photos past sunset ... and yes we did hike the 3 miles back though the woods, in the dark, as the light of a full moon danced through the trees :-). It was a magical experience!
The water's of Lake Superior were so amazingly blue!!

Sunrise!
I love scenes like this!! If we hadn't stopped to see if the meadow was worth photographing, we would have completely passed it by. I'm so glad we didn't ... it was magical! Made it worth getting up for sunrise :-)!
