Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: empire bluff

I was working with a colleague yesterday when I noticed the picture beside the printer. Lacking a real camera, I whipped out my Treo and captured it with my telephone. The photo reminded me of a similar pic by Brian H , and of one of mine I'd not yet posted. The bluff in the background, here, is Sleeping Bear. Used to have a boss, Jeff Villaire, who vacationed at Michigan's Crystal Lake, spending two weeks every summer on the edge of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Jeff passed away several years ago, but his memory lives on in the office with the photographs he used to decorate the place.

Below Empire Bluff , Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The most impressive structure I've ever found on a beach. Flickr has photographs of this construction dating back some time . It's obviously important to someone.

Empire Bluff, above Empire, Michigan, looking toward Empire, the Sleeping Bear Dune, and Pyramid Point. Taken, I think, in 1998. A few months ago, Brian H speculated that he wasn't likely the only person who'd photographed this tree . I assured him he wasn't. Reasonably sure I shot this with the Nikon N90s. Posting this old and rather poor scan because of the next photo I'm posting . Someday I'll locate the original, and post a decent scan....
