A photo of Inspiration Point in Arcadia, Michigan taken this afternoon overlooking Lake Michigan.

Angela has been a contact of mine for quite a while. She is such a talent - her range of expertise is unbelievable!! She photographs newborns and children so beautifully and her still life and naturey shots are fabulous! She always has something nice to say when she visits my stream and is truly an inspiration to me and many others:)

This is my third year back to Enchantments during its larch season. There is something special about this place that draws me to return again and again. I like the pristine alpine lakes here with granite rock and mountains in the surroundings. The golden larches during autumn season just makes this already photogenic place extra special.

To make the best of my time here, I did lots of research on the potential places to scout and shoot. This is my first location off the beaten path and I am really glad how this image turns out. The fleeting moment when the sun rises just above the horizon is always a memorable moment to capture.

Sakura contemplates the graffiti artist’s message with a smile… or is she the artist herself? Say, what’s she got in that case?

You know our love was meant to be

The kind of love that lasts forever

And i need you here with me

From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere i go

You're always on my mind, in my heart

In my soul

You're the meaning in my life

You're the inspiration

You bring feeling to my life

You're the inspiration

Wanna have you near me

I wanna have you hear me sayin'

No one needs you more than i need you

Song lyrics from "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago

*** Explored on 1/5/2023! ***

I'm often asked why I take pictures? The answer is two-fold: for myself, to remember the places I've been, and for others, to inspire them to see the world. Every day for 6 years I would walk by a photo of this scene in the Lofoton Islands of Norway. SmugMug had a giant panorama print of Reine -- it took over the whole wall -- and it was hung in one of the main hallways. Every day I'd walk by it and say "one day I'm going to go there."

After 3 trips to Iceland, Rebecca finally said to me "damnit, we're going to Norway. I'll plan the trip. You can come along if you'd like." So we booked flights, invited Andy along ... and then promptly kicked Rebecca out of planning the trip. Andy and I did most of the planning and a 7 day photo trip turned into a 5 day trip with 2 days of backcountry skiing. I'll cut to the chase and skip the long story about how we nearly didn't make it here and just leave it at this: We stopped in Iceland on the way, photographed some ice-caves, beat the largest snowstorm in Reykjavik's history and caught our flight with 5 minutes to spare. Everything was easy after that.

This is probably the most photographed scene in all of the Lofoton Islands, with a similar photo from Hamnoy coming in a close second, but I don't care. This inspired me to travel halfway across the world and see and do something different. So here's my own take, taken at 6:30am on a cold morning, when the wind died down long enough for the unnamed mountain peak to reflect in the water. Reine (pronounced Ray-nuh), is a gorgeous fishing village, now turned into tourist attraction. We stayed in some of those red huts on the right. I find it interesting that the tallest peak here is, as far as I can tell, unnamed. All the other peaks are named except for the main peak. Strange.

I was warming up my frosty car one morning before I went to my son's house... and thought the tree on the lawn looked so pretty and framed through the window... thankfully I always carry my small camera...

I did process this image, just to make it a little more artsy...

I'm not able to find enough time to follow my eyes! Everywhere I go I see something, but especially when is calm and relaxing like Maldives. The white sand itself gave me a lot of inspirational thoughts..

Cockpit of the inspiration. We spotted this jet boat parked in Steamboat Landing, Glen Cove, New York. It is said to do 170 mph. It runs on two hugh engines (jet fuel, I think), and it is so loud, the passengers and driver must wear headphones. Please view the next photo to see it in action
