The World is Flat (Actually It Isn't)
At the northern end of the Door County, Wisconsin peninsula (it's technically an island, but that's another story) lies Washington Island. Occupying less than 25 square miles, and home to less than a thousand year-round residents, it can be reached by taking a half-hour ferry ride from Northport, and is well worth a visit. One's experience is going to be hugely impacted by the weather. The day before I visited Washington Island, in August, 2018, the weather was awful. Fog everywhere. But the next day, when I went to Washington Island, the weather was perfect. This photo looks like it could have been taken in the Caribbean. But no, this is actually Lake Michigan from Washington Island. Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36).
Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead
Door County, Wisconsin, is a little slice of heaven … at least during the summer, when I've visited. An extremely popular tourist destination, especially for Illinois residents, Door County is home to roughly 30,000 people, and a great deal of outdoor recreation possibilities. Thanks to the 1881 completion of the Sturgeon Bay Shipping Canal, the northern half of what used to be a peninsula is now technically an island. The lighthouse in this photo is called “Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead,” and it is worth a visit. The bright red of the lighthouse really stands out against the blue water and sky. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Occupying less than 25 square miles, and home to less than a thousand year-round residents, it can be reached by taking a half-hour ferry ride from Northport, and is well worth a visit. I think my favorite part of my Washington Island visit, in August, 2018, was School House Beach, where I took this photo. Apparently, it is one of only five sand-less beaches on the planet, and the rocks that make up the beach are smooth and beautiful. If you visit, don't take any rocks, though – there's a steep fine if you get caught! Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

One Day, There Will Be Lavender
At the northern end of the Door County, Wisconsin peninsula (it's technically an island, but that's another story) lies Washington Island. Occupying less than 25 square miles, and home to less than a thousand year-round residents, it can be reached by taking a half-hour ferry ride from Northport, and is well worth a visit. I took this photo at a lavender farm on the island in late August, 2018, shortly after the flowers had all been harvested. Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough to return someday with slightly better timing, so I can take this same photo, but with flowers in it! Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Thanks to the 1881 completion of the Sturgeon Bay Shipping Canal, the northern half of what used to be a peninsula is now technically an island. The path shown in this photo leads to a bright red lighthouse called “Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead,” and with visibility like this, it's probably a good thing it is there. This photo makes it look like this path could continue indefinitely, but in truth, the path ends probably a hundred yards or so from where I took the photo. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.

The lighthouse in this photo is called “Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead,” and it is worth a visit. I've visited the lighthouse on blue-sky days, and on days like this one. Each provides a unique type of beauty. I didn't see any ships moving around on the day I took this photo, and that's probably a good thing. The area is rife with history of terrible shipwrecks and with conditions like this, it's no wonder why.

I was driving through Michigan in the summer of 2018, not in a particular rush, and was looking for things to see and do. I didn't know there were any wineries in the area, but there turned out to be quite a few. I've been wanting to get a photo like this for years, and sometimes all you need is to be in the right place at the right time. Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30).

An extremely popular tourist destination, especially for Illinois residents, Door County is home to roughly 30,000 people, and a great deal of outdoor recreation possibilities. There are paved roads throughout the county, but there are also countless dirt roads that allow access to lesser-known parks and beaches, and scenes like this aren't terribly hard to find. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
I was driving through Michigan in the summer of 2018, not in a particular rush, and was looking for things to see and do when I came across a sign for Fayette Historic State Park. I decided to pay it a visit. Located on the southern side of the Upper Peninsula, this State Historic Site was a major pig iron manufacturer between 1867 and 1891, and has subsequently been restored and made open to the public. Aside from the restored buildings, there is a fair bit of natural beauty in the area, as well. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

And That's Why We Need Lighthouses
Door County, Wisconsin, is a little slice of heaven … at least during the summer, when I've visited.

Thanks to the 1881 completion of the Sturgeon Bay Shipping Canal, the northern half of what used to be a peninsula is now technically an island. The barely-visible lighthouse in this photo is called “Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Pierhead,” and it is worth a visit. I've visited the lighthouse on blue-sky days, and on days like this one. Each provides a unique type of beauty. It's difficult to tell in this photo, but the lighthouse itself is actually bright red. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Jones Gap State Park is a small park in South Carolina, very close to the border with North Carolina. The elevation of the park ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 feet, and has more than 30 miles of hiking trails. I visited the park in the summer of 2018 when I was passing through the area, and the beautiful rivers and waterfalls are definitely worth a visit. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Located on the southern side of the Upper Peninsula, this State Historic Site was a major pig iron manufacturer between 1867 and 1891, and has subsequently been restored and made open to the public. There weren't too many other visitors when I was there, which gave it something of a ghost town feel. Probably worth a stop if you're in the area. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).
