    From the teaser in the link, I expected to see an action shot…or even a video of the slide. Nice photo, though. The Pictured Rocks sure are beautiful. We’re fortunate that Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear Dunes were protected years ago, before the anti-environment, anti-public mentality took over the Republican Party. We still should protect more Great Lakes shoreline– including nearly all of the islands.

    Bet if the shoreline wasn’t protected we wouldn’t even know this happened – no one would have access to take a photo like this. Nice shot.
