About this photo, Shawn writes:
Storm was 40 knot NW gales creating 10-15 ft waves at Presque Isle Park in Marquette, MI. Water appears that color (glass green/blue) under those conditions due to gray sky, water depth among other things. It’s very brutal to stand out there and try to photograph with ice pellets hitting you in the face … water getting in your equipment from freezing spray, steadying a camera in those winds. After going to that spot many times in similar conditions, I couldn’t recreate that wave pattern if I tried 1000 times over. This is one of my most popular images, and I consider a gift from a higher power. Most recently, It was chosen for “Art on the Rocks” Fine art show poster 2006 and Lake Superior Magazine calendar 2006.
LakeSuperiorPhoto.com is absolutely packed with photos of Superior and the UP by Shawn & Brian Malone (bio page with cool magazine spread!). In addition to a lot more photos of waves and storms on Lake Superior, you can also find shots of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, events like the UP 200 Sled Dog Race, Northern Lights and an absolutely amazing number of pictures of towns, trails and all facets of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Go there, you won’t be disappointed!

I have those same pictures. I don’t know how you captured that color with the sky like that. It’s a shame you can’t really see the power that was displayed there that day in pictures. There was nothing like being there.
