Picture of the day - August 23, 2008

"Manistee River Sunset"

Photo courtesy of Brandon Barch. I'm not sure whether it's because of the the spectacular Michigan scenery or the amazing photography skills of Mr. Brandon Barch, but both of the photos that he has submitted for consideration as "Pictures of the Day" have been nothing short of breathtaking! Back in April Brandon submitted a beautiful picture of the sun setting over Lake Michigan, and today he treats us to the gorgeous scene featured above. Here are a few words from him about the image: "This is the north pier light at the mouth of the Manistee River being silhouetted by the setting sun on August 20, 2008 at 8:40pm. Fishing from the pier is a popular activity this time of year. This was taken at 400mm with the Canon 100-400mm zoom lens."  --Brandon Barch   Visitor Comments...
