Summer Solstice at Presque Isle

Summer Solstice:  This annual event when the sun is at the farthest distance north of the equator is best told with photos at Presque Isle.

                                                        Waiting for Dawn

When I left my home I was afraid the fog/clouds would block the sunrise

Anticipation . . .

Within two weeks the sun will be directly centered on the channel leading to Lake Erie

Awesome beauty

I used to live closer to Presque Isle Peninsula & Presque Isle Bay and i walked here frequently often early in the morning.  One summer I discovered this phenomenon.  During the weeks leading to the summer solstice and for a few weeks after the sun comes up almost over the channel.  The clouds and the water often add their own statement to nature's beauty.  Each year I try to celebrate the summer solstice by walking here.  This year I brought my camera so I could share the awesome beauty with you.

Erie, Pennsylvania is to the right and Lake Erie is left.  Everyone is welcome
