Pictured Rocks NL is near Munising, Michigan. As the owner of our only waterproof camera, I got the job of taking pictures. Plus, as the one in the back of the two-person kayak, I was able to get the action shots, such as they are.
Everyone recommends sea kayaks for Lake Superior. Having heard stories (and seen at least one example) of the fickle weather on Superior, we decided to take a guided tour. We went with https://paddlepicturedrocks.com/ because they take you to the most picturesque areas for kayaking via a passenger boat. We didn't think we had enough kayaking muscles to do the 5+ hour tour that other companies offered in order to see, essentially, the same shoreline. Purists might prefer launching from the shore but we were very happy with our choice.
Of the 129 pictures that I took, I chose 18 that were blog-worthy. Of those, I present only these. The editing process is a harsh business.
We watched a cormorant feeding her chicks. What we saw was mostly just silhouette from a hundred feet below and another hundred or so horizontally but it makes a nice picture. Maybe just knowing they are cormorants makes it nicer.
An action shot! You can tell it is an action shot by the exclamation mark I used.
The below cave was short but very cool:

And, because this tree on Chapel Rock is on the back of the Michigan US quarter dollar coin, a picture is in order. The angle is different on the coin, but I preferred this because it shows the roots which had grown while there was land between Chapel Rock and the shoreline. The roots remained doing their rooty work long after the sandstone around them had collapsed.
Love the exclamation point for action. Thanks for sharing...safe travels.
