This image was obtained from the deck of a boat approaching the docks. A calm day made it not too difficult. When the lake has more waves, and the boat is pitching, it is easy to get a diagonal shot that mandates an extreme crop to save the image.

Taken a few days ago after recording the moon rise. The tall ship Manitou at dock & the beacon on top of the Park Place hotel. Two well recognized landmarks in Traverse City.
It's on the way to Pikes Peak. In the background is what must be the mandatory small tourist town fudge shop.
. . . Looking north across the Manitou Passage to the island partly shielded in the morning fog gives a rather eerie perspective. This is Michigan's answer to San Francisco!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Spent a couple of weeks as a volunteer here last summer. The visitation was low partly because the dock was bad?
Got a LE picture at the blue hour in the local main street. Pretty cool small town. They got their Christmas lights up already. In this picture I got a bus coming through at the right time (for traffic light trails) and got the star effect on the Christmas light.
This is the very top of Manitou Incline. It was a tough climb, but the view made it worth it. Sometimes it's not about how many miles you hike, but how many times you stop to appreciate the view.
If you look closely at the steps, you can barely see them. Full of loose rocks, definitely a hike to remember!

The Cliff Dwellings of Manitou Springs. These were stolen from other cliff house sites and conjoined into this mishmash for a tourist attraction. These structures are from different places and cultures. Still, it's interesting enough to visit.
Looking out to the Manitou Passage in a late afternoon scene, near Leland, MI. A cold April! On the horizon (from left) is Pyramid Point, South Manitou Island, and North Manitou Island.
One of two today showing off the fall colors in Wisconsin's Pattison Park.
This is the scene approaching the falls.
After a day of storms on South Manitou Island, the clouds parted toward evening. The sun cast a warm glow on the historic lifesaving station.
A Broadmoor, Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway train moves through the yard at Manitou Springs, Colo., on October 23, 2021. The railroad recently reopened following a three-year, $100 million rebuild (More info here: railfan.com/pikes-peak-cog-busier-than-ever-following-100...)
I almost always find the museum and gift shop buildings as (or more) photogenic than the cliff dwellings, especially given the backdrop against the Pike's Peak foothills and Manitou Springs area. Two stop, three image bracket, 10mm f/16 ISO100.
View of Colorado Springs from the Manitou Incline... again; I went up again in an attempt to get this shot from further up the incline, but still couldn't beat the sunrise. I'm either going to have to get there earlier, or learn to climb faster. I like the sky in this picture anyway. :)
The last image of Manitou Incline. Definitely a hike that I will LOVE to do again.
Manitou Incline consists of approximately 2744 steps with a 41% incline (68% at its highest) and a 2,000+ foot climb in elevation.
It was one heck of a climb, I'll tell ya :)
