Colors of Lake Michigan Abstract Diptych.jpg

"Colors of Lake Michigan Abstract Diptych" by Patti Deters. Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes, is renowned for its stunning scenery along Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. However, the colors of the water are just as stunning and beautiful where the sunlight penetrates the water, creating mesmerizing patterns of light and shadow on the lake's surface. Blue-green hues which vary in intensity and shade depending on several factors such as weather conditions, time of day, water clarity, and algae blooms. During a clear, sunny day the lake often appears a brilliant and inviting turquoise, with shades ranging from a pale, almost translucent, blue near the shore to a deeper, more vibrant teal further out. The color is influenced by the depth of the lake, the reflection of sunlight by the water, as well as minerals and algae. In some areas, especially where the water is shallow and the lake bottom is sandy, the water can take on a striking emerald or aquamarine hue. This enchanting coloration is particularly noticeable in bays and coves such as in these abstract photographs captured near Miner's Castle along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Each of the two images in this diptych collage are also available individually at the links below.
