Take care when walking on the breakwater. The waves can carry you away if you slip and fall or if a rogue waves washes you in. Pictured is sun down at the confluence of the Grand River and Lake Michigan one of the wildest of the five Great Lakes. It is beautiful but it can be treacherous. There are many shipwrecks under the five Great Lakes. In November the waves can be very powerful.
Lake Michigan and one sea gull reflected in the wet sand as waves roll in. In the distance the pier with its lighthouse marks the channel where the Grand River flows into Lake Michigan. I have canoed the Grand River and I have seen the places where fish lurk. I have seen them rise to the surface and splash down. I have sailed and fished in Lake Michigan as well as the other Great Lakes. Read about the Great Lakes and their living webs of life in The Dynamic Great Lakes, a non-fiction book available on the www and in bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, Schuler Books and Music, The Bookman and many other places.
