    Yesterday a storm rolled in with high winds and lots of rain. It died out before sunset, so I headed to the lake to check out the sunset over Lake Michigan. I was not disappointed. The wind was still whipping up, and the sun dipped below the clouds just before disappearing at the horizon. A wave popped up in front of the sun on this one... which actually helped the exposure. My legs got pretty well sandblasted while standing in the water, but I walked away with a lot of keepers. I hope you enjoy.

    Wow Pat that is positively brilliant. I really love how you return to this place throughout the year, and capture it in a unique way every time. This one really hits it out of the ballpark. Not that I want to unduly influence the judges .... this thread always collects excellent entries!

    Thanks guys. Nature did the work. It was more an endurance test for me... the sand was drifting pretty good - it looked like blowing snow on the beach. Everyone else were sitting in there cars taking pictures and watching the idiot standing down at the lake try to hold his equipment down.

    SHUT IT DOWN. Contest over with that insanely artistic work by Pat. It's hard to stop looking at that photograph. I've commented on Flickr that the wave on the right looks just like a japanese painting of a wave. Kudos!

    Haven't posted in a while, but I have to say I love that shot by Pat. That's what I wish all of my ocean shots would look like, but they never do
