One of my favorite photos ever, taken on the beach at Empire, Michigan, five years ago today. We were celebrating my birthday by wandering around Michigan's little finger--Leelanau County.

Another pic from this year's calendar.

Don't think I'd visited the blacksmith shop in Glen Haven since I was a kid.

I've been playing with DxO's OpticsPro photo processing software all afternoon. Thought I'd share a few examples.

One of the features DxO is advertising for the 10th version of OpticsPro is a technology they call ClearView, a haze removal tool. This is a test: Compare a version I posted of this photo a few years back, processed using Photoshop Elements. The new version's better.

I'm pretty sure most Michiganders (yeah, I know....) think of this scene when you say Sleeping Bear.

Of course, they tend not to think of it with snow.

The dock, pulled up on the beach for the winter, at Sugar Beach Resort in Traverse City, Michigan. Looked like they'd just pulled it in. The permanent part of the dock shows in this photo.

Unretouched; exactly the photo that came out of the camera.

Below Empire Bluff, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The most impressive structure I've ever found on a beach.

Flickr has photographs of this construction dating back some time. It's obviously important to someone.
