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.
There’s a nice little place for sailboat rides, it launches into this beautiful scene. There’s a little park here too.
First 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.
I just had to take a photo of this guy with his dog. They were having so much fun together. By the way, admission to Oval Beach in Saugatuck is only $5.00, unless you arrive after 5:00pm, then it’s free.
Even though it was on a holiday (July 3), Oval Beach in Saugatuck (click for Google map directions to Oval Beach in Saugatuck, MI) was relaxed and uncrowded. Plenty of time for building sandcastles and watching the sailboats breeze by.
Oval Beach has been deemed by many experts as one of the top beaches in the country. But try to find it, a better name would be hidden beach! Hey, how about this, I’ll help. Here’s a Google map link to an address near the end of the street the beach is on. So what’s so great about it? Check out my pics and I’ll tell you. Here’s the scene looking out to the right if you are facing the beach from the parking lot.
I was lucky I didn’t get into any wrecks when I first moved to Michigan. I was constantly distracted by the most beautiful skies I’ve ever seen in my life. This was taken in the early spring in the Leelanau peninsula along a little detour off M-22, just take the loop around South Port Oneida Road.
