Lake Superior Beach Sunset

The Duck Lake fire north of Newberry continues to burn. It is still 80 percent out of control, although the chance of rain today should help the firefighters. So sad....

Here is a photo from the Internet showing the fire reaching Lake Superior.

Back to the photos from my hike two days ago.  A few from the Ghost Forest.  These tree stumps are thousands of years old, now uncovered by the shifting sand.

From the Ghost Forest I carefully descended down the dune to the beach.  This was not easy at the top due to the clay ridges and drop offs.

This is where I went down....

There are several areas of wash out due to erosion...

In the above picture there is running water on the left side of the wash out.  The photo below I took of that running water, selecting an angle to capture the reflection of the setting sun.

Going, going, gone...

The new steps at Sable Falls are now open...

The fire ban is in effect for much of Michigan, including in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
