From the little Sable lighthouse 2017, you can have some of the best views in west Michigan of the night sky. A tourist town that completely shuts down in the off season. There's literally no city light interference in every direction for 10s and sometimes over 100 miles. A hot spot for the northern lights or just to view great Milkyway and the endless universe beyond. So vast you are literally looking back through time. And things just get even more straing, beyond what any SyFy story could ever image. I could just go on and on about space stuff. Fascinates me.
Came across an old beat up canvas of this photo while digging out are storage unit today and brought it home with me. Even though it never sold. I still thought it's pretty cool. And worth the share for you.

In the turning of elemental and environmental extremes between chance and chaos and the instinct to serve. You can't help but wonder. Why so beautiful?
The sunrise on the Yellowstone lake on my little photography ture in September of 2007. That got rained out pretty much all that day after this was taken. But that entire day out in the rain and money spent would adventually turn out to be worth it, just for this one shot. Becoming one of the best pictures from that trip. With a 24x36 inch print, all so nicely matted and framed, after all the shows it's been to, still looking for a place to call home. If you want it:)

Running around, do***ng lightning bolts, not more then 24 hours ago, during my shift hours yesterday. Only to just pass my exit on the way home and just kept driving after it, adventually tell I found my self in Hastings, over what looked cool from a distance. Just evaporated by the time I made it there. That storm clearly just didn't want to be photographed. Kind of been my luck this year.

But on the contrary. This one from 2019 was a very active year. Probably my best summer for both thunderstorms and color. That evening had me out for hours at Grand Haven before this cloud erupted. As the color slowly faded and night crept in by the minute. The lightning became almost constant. Even on my drive home, I had to pull over again at the Jenison dog park just to watch it. Late into the night hours. As Steff watched it from home. Something straight out of Texas. So much energy with this one. Late August of 2019. If you can remember.

The sunburst from above some early August foggy mornings, 2026 over the Grand River Park in Jenison. After sending the maverick, mini. up through the fog. The view had me quite blown away. Cought up in another plain in white wavie sea of clouds. The sun burst through with all of its glory. I couldnt stop photographing in every direction. What a sight to be hold. You never would know there's another world underneath. From down there its rush hour. Go go go. Hurry hurry hurry. But up here, its just so peaceful.

Somewhere in Eden just after a steamy August thundershower had the air thick and heavy with every color almost driping with the rain drops through the leaves.
Symphonies in all varieties of different insects and birds flutter the tree tops, far and near.
Filled the sky with there song.
It's was then I suddenly stepped into a paradise that kept me returning to this pretickuler spot, for many years where the Hager Park creek emptys in to the grand river, in the hopes that I would someday step into this place again.

Above and below, between the wilderness of trees and the wilderness of the sea and the long endless hike from the lake Michigan Recreation Area campground to the Big Sable Lighthouse, some 6 plus miles up the shore. These are two nights of sunsets and campfires without electricity and service. I keep reaching for my stupid phone and realizes just how bad my addiction really is. Pretty sad. Worse then pop. Then I put it away and fully immerse myself in everything around me like a child again. I love camping like this, just because of that. Plus to catch up with my Uncal Paul and family. Such a treat getting lost in these inbetweens of wilderness of trees and sea.
My favorite place to be.

And then darkness fell across the land. The heat of the day was extinguished. Blotted out at nearly 2:15pm for almost 2 minutes August 21st 2017 at Hopkinsville Kentucky. You could see venus and some of the stars that you would otherwise never get to see at night. This was my favorite zoom shot of the solar wind. Burning at nearly 5,000,000 fahrenheit. A incredibly rare and astonishing prospective, unique only to are home world and are relationship with our moon.

On this day back in 2017
Out of all the planets and moons in are solar system. The Earth is the only planet where we could see with an unaided eye the suns full outer corona or outer atmosphere in a total solar eclips.
Where the moon is 1/400th the size of the sun but also 1/400th distance away from Earth.
This is why the sun and the moon look ruffle the same size
In this astonishing event not shared by any planet/moon combination.

Under such rare occasions. Being a space nut like I am. I would have really regretted passing up this one chance of a life time.
They said I wouldnt get those three days off but some how I still did. So I had to gave this trip all I had.
With over 9 hours to get to Hopkinsville Kentucky from Grand Rapids we drove all night and over 12 hours back home with nothing more then $100 and a prayer for a show that lasted just under 2 minutes.
But would remane etched in are minds and hearts for a life time to come. This is the so called Dimond ring when the edge of the sun suddenly burst out from the other side of the moon. It happens very quick. And with me I wasnt quite ready for it and I had to do quite a bit of editing to fix the massive blow out in this picture. I really didnt think this one was fixable. But Im glad I went back to this one.

The arriving of this particular line of storms in South Haven couldn't have timed it better, marking the one year anniversary of Steffs Mom and now also are all black cat Hobbs on this same day. With my uncal Rick still heavy on are mind's. A very gifted, handy Man of few words but with a very kind and gentle soul, and close friend. I felt like a thief going through his private things. Cleaning out his house. Its like he's just been erased from existence. Death is a weird thing. The real thief in life. They say it hits in three's but it's been going nonstop in are family with another funeral at the end of this month.
I guess these sky's had some wait with them and still do. The rumblel of the distant thunder over the waves and dark skies was the only highlight of that day. As I later would meet up with Steff at her work to show her my pics as I always do, just after a good storm, before going straight home to get what's left of my sleep for the start of the next work day.

In a downpour of color and illumination. Was very strainge to see these actual orbs of rain coming right at you and falling all around you. Like liquid fire, omitting it's own energy. Radiating and scattering, both light and shadow. I realized that I to was bathed in its soft lit, orange glow. Literally from head to toe drenched in it. One of the most incredibly beautiful kinds of squalines that hit the setting sun just right. Blurred in some rare instances between heaven and earth, back when the rain caught fire.
This storm had its thunder stolen when the 2017 solar eclips also happened that very same week. And hardly got notest tell years later. As I just now came across it.
