Sunset at Grand Beach, Michigan

Catching a sunset while on vacation is a real treat.

A last minute foray to the beach at Grand Beach, New Buffalo, MI provided us with an interesting sunset view over Lake Michigan. The weather had been cloudy, chilly and windy all day but the clouds opened up enough near dusk that I was able to photograph one of the most interesting sunset images of our trip.

The sun sets over the horizon, casting a beautiful orange hue over the sky and water. The waves rush to the shore, providing a calming background noise. The sand is cool and soft, providing a comfortable seat to watch Mother Nature perform her magic. The sunset is a perfect way to end a day at Grand Beach.

The elements all worked together to create this breathtaking sunset photograph. The high winds during the day created moderate waves washing up on the beach that provided a wet sand “mirror” reflecting the colors in the sky. The half buried driftwood added a bit of foreground interest – looking a bit like a miniature mountain range on the beach. The sky, itself, was – well, it was just beautiful.

Of course, all of this splendor was not of my making. It was all provided by the artist known as Mother Nature – I was just there to observe and, hopefully, catch something to share with you.
