These are a few images that I captured earlier this summer when we took a boat tour of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
I love focusing on smaller portions of a larger scene and making images that have a sort of abstract quality to them.
The colors and patterns formed by things like iron, manganese and copper in the water that seeped from the cliffs at the water's edge fascinated me.
Check back here next week for a full story about our cruise on Lake Superior to see the unique colors and formations at Pictured Rocks.

What amazing colours. I've seen painted sand dunes but that's the first time I've seen rocks like this. I would have been fascinated too. Thanks for sharing.

I've never heard of these rocks - they're beautiful! Can you only see them from a boat?

I've never been to that area of the United States and actually never heard of these rocks. For some reason my kids always enjoy learning about rocks.
