Look What They've Done to Our View

Too many power poles get in the way of a lovely sunset.  It would make a lot of sense if the wires were underground.

Some places have the foresight to put the wires underground.  I'm told it would be too expensive.

Sundown over Lake Michigan

After sundown last night, the wind picked up and threw chunks of ice at us.  On Lake Michigan's beach the ice continues to build.  It is treacherous to walk here since it is difficult to tell whether you have sand or water underneath you.

Lake Michigan Sunset

Lake Michigan sunsets are exquisite. The sailboats head for the harbor, fishing boats head for home and peace descends upon the lake.
