Elks’ Sign, October 24, 2008

The sign at the old Elks Club on Muskegon’s Ottawa Avenue is rarely left on when the club is closed. But, this morning it was blazing away with the red lights lighting up everything around it.

Navy Pier, November 22, 2008

Last night’s, late night, highly spirited, high on spirits, discussion of politics in the new center our political universe, Chicago, was highly satisfactory. The early morning wake-up much less so.

A walk along Lake Michigan seemed to offer a slim chance of getting ahead of the looming headache. Grasping at that thread worked surprisingly well – and even yielded a lovely sunrise over Navy Pier.

Artificial flowers in artificial light

Enough reality-based imagery!

This caught my eye one morning before heading out for a walk – and, since the camera was already in hand, took a picture that turned out to be sort of weirdly OK.

Figuring that the colder weather had diminished the chances of being killed by a powerboat to acceptable levels, a very early morning paddle on Muskegon Lake was rewarded with this view of the Milwaukee Clipper.
