Beach Boardwalk © 2012 Bo Mackison
An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~ Henry David Thoreau
What a thrill to watch as the sun rises over Lake Michigan. And then another thrill – equally as amazing – when I turn away from the sun, and see the sunlight’s effect on everything within my view.
This photo was taken just north of Bailey’s Harbor, a small village in Door County, Wisconsin. The boardwalk is lined with snow fence for the summer as a beach grass re-introduction project is kept protected from the many feet of the beach visitors. The snow fence, a rather mobile fencing structure, always provides wonderful opportunities for photography. I am especially thrilled with the zig zag lines on the wobbly fence as the day’s sun lifts from the eastern horizon, and swathes the worn fence in deep golden tones.

About Bo Mackison
The snow fence adds so much character to the boardwalk Bo, and the zig-zags are wonderful! It would be interesting to see what other designs the sun can create, at different times of the day.
I was especially pleased to see how well those zig zags photographed. It was stunning at sunrise.
I always love the lines and shadows created by these boardwalk fences. Lovely scene!
I don;t get to see these snow fences too often – we’re too far from Lake Michigan. Only get here a couple of times a year. But I love to photograph them.
Great lines and shadow play. I feel as if I’m about to walk out onto the beach with you.
Yes, let’s go for a walk right now… 🙂
Gorgeous light and composition. The play of light and shadows is just right.
The light just at sunrise is my favorite, Anita. 🙂
