Straight Out View from Green Point Overlook (GPDNP 10/14)

As James Taylor sang, "deep greens and blues are the colors I choose."

There have been views to the south, views to the north, so where is the view looking straight out from the overlook, you ask?? Well, here you go!

In your mind’s eye you have combine this with the southern and northern views of the previous two photos -- see first comment below -- only then do you begin to get an idea of the vastness of what it’s like up there.

If you want to feel “some air in your hair” this would be the place! And it was a windy day, as you can tell from the distance between the wave peaks. The wind is amplified when it hits the 300’ bluff. (In fact, that’s why they hang glide from the Green Point launch about 1/3 mile to the north.)

For the full effect -- run a fan at your face while viewing this as large as you can. (:->

Taken at the bluffs overlook above Lake Michigan at the Green Point Dunes Nature Preserve (south of Frankfort on M-22).
