So far this summer we’ve gotten some free fireworks show such as the storm that swept through last weekend. Shawn wrote:

It was fireworks over the lake last night, my dog was not pleased, however I was ecstatic. Lightning was going off a couple times a second and it did not let up, but stayed mostly in the clouds. I watched this for over an hour, and it just drifted by, stars overhead the entire time – go big screen to see the stars right top of frame.

So… what are you waiting for? Go background big and see more at Lake Superior Photo on Facebook.

Have a great weekend everyone!

One of the things I love about Spring and early Summer is how calm the water can be.

Jason shot this at 6 AM on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City. View his photo background bigtacular, see more in his Landscapes VII slideshow and purchase it if you wish at his photography website.

Last sunset in May…

May 2013 was a horrifying month for weather out in Oklahoma as tornados slammed Moore and then hit Oklahoma City last night. While Michigan has seen nothing to compare with what the folks in the plains have seen, 6 tornadoes touched down yesterday around the state.

I thought this photo might be a great one to put a hopeful period on a destructive May. As for a hopeful exclamation point, check out last night’s northern lights captured by photographer Ken Scott! Bring on sun, summer and starry nights!!

Steve took this shot by Skyline High School in Ann Arbor on May 31st, 2011. Check it out big as the sky and see the whole series in his Michigan sunsets and evenings slideshow.
