Pictured
Rocks National Lakeshore - Michigan UP
This
is one of my favorite beaches on any of the great lakes. Twelve
Mile Beach is part of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's
upper peninsula. This long stretch of white birch lined sandy
beach on Lake Superior is only accessible on one end by a winding poorly
maintained gravel road. The small campground found there rarely
has many occupants and provides a wonderful overnight
experience. A short walk down the beach brought me to this
area of smooth rounded stones scattered about in the sand.
Although it was a clear, warm, summer evening the day I capture this
image the fifty plus feet between the water and stones gave an
indication of the strength of the storms that had deposited them
there.
