With a free day in Chicago, I grabbed my gear and set off through the city on foot. I rented a citibike and went up and down the harbor coast of Lake Michigan. While stopped in the shade, I managed to take this, the astonishingly blue water of Lake Michigan has continued to leave me in awe.
Freshwater is a large village and civil parish[3][4] at the western end of the Isle of Wight, England. The southern, coastal village is Freshwater Bay, named for the adjacent small cove.[5] Freshwater sits at the western end of the region known as the Back of the Wight or the West Wight, a popular tourist area.
It was the birthplace of physicist Robert Hooke and was the home of Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson.

The setting sun at Freshwater Bay just after unusually warm autumn days turned to the typical November grot. The low afternoon sun behind the buildings of Fort Redoubt makes the shore look gold and inviting. Looking forward to the remains of a golden autumn and a crisp winter.

very low tide down at the bay today - probably tied in with the full 'wolf moon' tomorrow. I've noticed the back of my hands looking very hairy:/

Slowly editing all of the photos from the Isle of Wight at the moment. Here's one of moonrise at Freshwater Bay. Would love to have captured the moon reflected in the water, but didn't have my photographer's cap on at the time! Really like the colours, though!
The rocks at the southern end of Freshwater Beach are a favourite spot of mine to take photos. With the view across the bay looking north, there is always something interesting to see. As evening falls and the lights come on in the streets and in the houses, it makes a great time for taking photos.
To extenuate the lights and the colours they make on the water, I like to experiment with longer exposure times. This photo had a 20 second exposure. By using the long exposure, it made the movement of the waves almost disappears, allowing me to better capture the reflections of the lights on the water and bring out their colours. The long exposure also allowed me to capture the movement of the clouds and express them in a way not possible with a shorter exposure.
Only 0.007% of the earth's water resides in freshwater lakes like Lake Michigan. That means for every 15,000 units of earth water, 1 of them comes from a lake. Yet lake water is an integral part of human culture, psyche, and economy.
Add some light from the sun or moon and you have instant art, free for the taking to anyone lucky enough to be there.
