Sun and Clouds over the Islands

There is nothing like the cloud formations that roam Lake Superior!  And we had a perfect spot on Shelter Bay for watching them morning and night.  It is early evening and you can see the sun piercing the clouds and lighting up portions of AuTrain Island, Grand Island, and the east arm of AuTrain Bay (Shelter Bay is the small "sub-bay" at the west arm of AuTrain Bay).

Islands

Au Train Island, it is situated in Lake Superior several miles out in the Au Train Bay.  This is the view from our cottage on the smaller Shelter Bay about 13 miles west of Munising, Michgian.  Our mornings here have been marvelous shows of clouds and light as the sun is coming up just to the east of the island.  The shore of Shelter Bay is all rocks, of sizes from immense to tiny, while Au Train Bay is miles of white sand beach.

And behind the waves at Miners Castle Beach, in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore just east of Munising, is a view of Grand Island, once owned by Cleveland Cliffs Mining Co and now a National Recreation Area in the Hiawatha National Forest.

The lake and forest, rocks and light, inspire great love and respect in me for the nature of the north.
