On one of the windy, cool fall days recently, Taana Kalliainen looked out her South Entry window and spotted two windsurfers taking advantage of the wind and waves. You can see how windy it was by the waves washing right over the concrete pier leading out to the lighthouse there. By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 08:05 am: A great way to see the colors...oh yeah! By RCW (Rcw) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 08:12 am:
Gee,Mary I would call that the South Entry!!!!! By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 08:14 am: By Dunerat (Dunerat) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 08:30 am: What a rush! Thanks Taana! These folks are using the breakwater for some serious high-speed runs. The water is flat in the lee of the breakwater, but the structure isn't very high, so the wind comes over it cleanly. You can get going super fast in a setup like that. Just don't make the mistake of pulling the clew through the eye of the wind. By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 09:12 am: Whatever floats ya boat. Or in this case ~ 'board'.;> By RD, Iowa (Rdiowa) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 09:58 am: Could the explanation be that Taana looks at the South Entry light through the North Entry window on her house? By JohnS (Jksturos) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 12:00 pm: It appears Taana is taking these photos of the South Entry Lighthouse from the Fisherman Village (Chassell) side. If so, the colorful mainland background must be the Abbaye Peninsula in Baraga County. The photos make the peninsula appear to be close to the lighthouse, but in reality, it's quite far. Interesting. By Thomas Baird (Thomas) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 02:59 pm: By Phyllis Bergh (Brinkleysmom) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 06:19 pm: I totally agree with JohnS, as I thought these photos must surely have been photo shopped. I took very similar photos when my daughter & I kayaked around the lighthouse this August, and I know that peninsula is much farther away (I grew up in Jacobsville, and now live in Portage Entry), and the land usually appears blue, and far enough away to not be able to distinguish the Fall colors. That being said, the photos are very nice just the same. By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 07:46 pm: Maybe Taana used a zooooom lens.(00) By Taana Kalliainen (Taanarae) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 09:22 pm:
I took these from the south facing window that has a nice view By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 10:50 pm:
Wherever you took the pictures from Taana, they're By Phyllis Bergh (Brinkleysmom) on Friday, October 11, 2013 - 07:40 am: Deb S, yes, Mary Ella was my sister and I miss her very much! Taana, thank you for the explanation & forgive me for thinking you photoshopped the pics. That must be one huge lens! |
