Where Does the Wind Come From (Indiana Dunes National Park)

Where Does the Wind Come From

And Where does it go?

Does the water rushing to a shore

Follow its lead

Or move to the pull of a neighboring Moon

Questions on my mind

But silence is to be savored

As I sit on the shores of a Great Lake

In Indiana in a national park

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Indiana Dunes National Park. This was along the shoreline of Lake Michigan just down the road from the Dune Ridge Trail area with the view looking across a grassy dune to the northeast. My thinking in composing this image was to use a layered approach with the nearby grasses, then the trees in the middle right portion of the image, and finally the blue waters of Lake Michigan itself. Given the overcast skies that day, I felt that they were more of a negative space and decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to minimize that.
