These dock pilings at Oval Beach in Saugatuck, Michigan USA supported the original docks that bordered the Kalamazoo River mouth where it emptied into Lake Michigan before the 1800's. In 1901, engineers rerouted the river mouth a quarter mile down the shoreline to better accommodate cruise ships and cargo ships arriving from Chicago and Milwaukee. Now these abandoned dock pilings represent a time fewer and fewer people remember. This photo shows the dropped water levels from the previous year. The Great Lakes water levels fluctuate every season depending on several weather conditions and the winter ice cover.

Nature is in us all shinning our inner lights a little brighter! If feel inspired to capture her essence through the lens, especially from my Lake Michigan surroundings and even from my own country garden landscape. My photography is an expression of nature's endless beauty. If I feel it, I take the shot! I like to add my photographs to informative writings, poetry and stories at http://hubpages.com/@fossillady so please feel free to pay a visit and hopefully be inspired!
