Here’s another photo of the storm that sprouted water spouts, as it roared on shore in Manistee.

Water spouts over Lake Michigan were seen nearby right about the same time I took this photo. We ran up a flight of 80 stairs into our friends’ beach house on a 100′ bluff overlooking the lake. The storm hit right after we got inside. This is the second time I’ve seen a storm like this in the Manistee beach area.

 

Check back on Monday to see new posts on Manistee.

As I was walking along the Pier in Grand Haven, Michigan (click for Google map directions to the boardwalk in Grand Haven, MI) I saw this little boy looking out over the water. It made me think of when my own sons were this age and the treasured memories I have of taking them the beach at Grand Haven. How many people that were there that night will remember it forever? I will, what a beautiful place, you can walk all the way down the pier to the lighthouse at the end.

If you’ve never been to Grand Haven, well, what can I say, you’re missing out. There’s a really long paved dock along the shoreline to walk along that ends at a lighthouse, way out on the water. Along the way there’s all kinds of boats passing by. This picture barely captures this enchanted moment. I was standing on the dock watching as this sailboat full of happy people who had probably spent the day on Lake Michigan, breezed by listening to reggea music and dancing.

This corn crib is sitting right next to Awesome Historical Barn. The sky was incredible and it was almost dusk.

Michigan Sweet Spot was created by me, Ann Teliczan. I’m a fine artist and photographer and wanted to share my love for Michigan with the world. The images on this website are all HDR photography, which is slightly exaggerated for effect.

I wanted to make it easy to go see the places I’m blogging about so most of the images here also have a Google map link to the location the photo was taken so you can actually go see it for yourself.

This is a fluid website, so you may need to make your window wider to view the site without the navigation bar overlapping the images. Thank you to every one who makes comments on my website, I appreciate and read them all.

For information about my fine art, which is different from the HDR photography seen on this site, check out my fine art site www.Anntopia.com.

Michigan is full of beautiful, rustic looking old barns. This one is over 100 years old and near the Ada area, driving down Bailey towards Lowell.

Here’s a couple of links to more Michigan barn HDR pictures that I’ve taken: Barns 1 Barns 2 … the last photo in the Barns 2 link is a classic!

saugatuck6mss2.jpgThere’s a nice little place for sailboat rides, it launches into this beautiful scene. There’s a little park here too.

lamborghinimssfnl.jpgFirst thing I noticed when I pulled into the parking lot at Oval Beach in Saugatuck was this incredible Lamborghini. The owner, a prominent surgeon in Traverse City, was relaxing nearby and I chit chatted with him a bit about the car. It is a one of a kind, custom made in Italy.
