Windy Lake Michigan

[nge]

These pictures were taken at about 11:30 am. Sunday morning. We went to my sister's house in Holland Michigan for our family CHRIStmas. I told everyone that this time I am NOT leaving without some pics of wind swept Lake Michigan. My wife posed for one of the pics, and it was a misty rainy day all day, so......enjoy NGE

Great Lakes, can whip up huge Seas and Storms similar to the Oceans.

It sure looks cold too! Do many large ships travel Lake Michigan? Kelley (Texas)

They sure do, but I don't live close enough there to take pics of them............

Nice pics nge. I have never personally seen any of the great lakes. I bet those beaches are great for mding.

Not this park. Holland state park is one of many in Michigan that is off limits to M.D.'ing. I hunted there about 35 years ago, and it was great. Get caught now and you lose your equipment.....nge
