Dragon Swallowing the Sun

I noticed an interesting opening in a dark cloud bank as the sun was setting tonight over Holland, Michigan. I waited for the orange glow from the sun to break through and looked for an opportunity to capture an interesting image. To me the abstract shape seemed to coalesce into the form of a dragon. Or… maybe I’ve watched one too many episodes of the Game of Thrones.  :)

Heavenly Landscape

I found the dark contrasting thin line of cloud gave the illusion of a horizon in the sky as I photographed the scene. The pastel orange backdrop and floating dark clouds above added to the drama of the moment. This is yet another example of a Michigan sky as the sun sets, which I always enjoy capturing and sharing.

Descending Sun

Today’s sunset was particularly beautiful with a dramatic contrast of dark clouds along with orange and yellow coloring in the sky. I caught a moment as the sun was peeking through a crescent shaped break in the clouds while it descended toward the waters of Lake Michigan in Ottawa County, Michigan.

I enjoyed this Winter sunset sky in Holland, Michigan today. The trees I found looked quite striking in silhouette displaying the beauty of their form as they stretched out in all directions with the colorful sky as a backdrop.

Fading Day

The red glow from the aftermath of a sunset over Lake Michigan lingered long enough to display distant rain falling over shadowed waters as the skies darkened to end the day. If you’d like a high resolution print of this image, just click on the photo below.

Massive cloud formations appeared over a Zeeland, Michigan field. The clouds produced plenty of rain over the area, which was welcomed after a long dry spell. Prints and greeting cards of this image are available below via the photo link:

Mountains of Clouds

I found this wetland in Holland, Michigan to be a great open area to see the mountains of clouds pass overhead. If you look closely, in the upper left of the photo, you can see a flock of birds flying past. Prints and greeting cards of this image are available by clicking on the photo below:

Big Red Lighthouse

I captured this image of the Holland Michigan Big Red Lighthouse, located on the shores of Lake Michigan, as a rain storm with dark clouds passed in the background yesterday. With the sun brightly illuminating the foreground, the dark clouds helped to create a nice contrast while showcasing the colorful subject. Prints are available by clicking the photo below:

Abstract Sunset

I liked the abstract effect created by the high contrast of dark silhouetted trees, along with the bright vivid coloring of the sky as I photographed this West Michigan sunset recently.
