When Shawn Malone wants to see Lake Superior, she just has to step out onto her deck for a spectacular view and when she does, I'm always glad she takes her camera along to capture the beauty and share it with us all. Today's shot from Shawn, was snapped last week, with the Northern lights dancing on the horizon over the Big Lake and the stars sparkling above. Quite a spectacle to be sure.
Shawn, also known as Lake Superior Photo, recently completed a time lapse project she has been working on, that she titled, "North Country Dreamland". It highlights the night sky of Upper Michigan, with all the scenes having been filmed within 200 miles of her home in Marquette.
Shawn's own description of the project states:
"Video locations include Isle Royale National Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Headlands Intl Dark Sky Park, North Country Trail, Hiawatha National Forest, Marquette Michigan, Copper Harbor, Mi, Eagle Harbor, MI and Au Train, MI.
It took a year to shoot and a bit of tenacity and persistence to get this into a form of coherent electrified cosmic goodness.
Night sky-capes include multiple northern lights scenes, meteor showers, nebulae, planets, including Venus and Jupiter setting from Spring 2012, constellations, the milky way, comet Pan-Starrs, night-scapes over both Lake Superior and Lake Michigan."
