Clouds & Lake Michigan

images from southern Michigan & Lake Michigan south of Benton Harbor



winter skies slash
groves of standing pines—
sword-edged clouds





rows of aspen and oaks
stand guard on afternoon sun—
winter sentinels



Lake Michigan cliffs
in last light winter sunset—
foreboding dead calm



sunpost rose
a westerly stained-glass pane
cold candles at dusk



green glass of inland sea
marking time before the cliff
takes the bare trees down
