Earth's Eye |
The photos on this page were taken on the shores of Lake Michigan. The title of the page comes from a quote by Henry David Thoreau: "A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It's earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." |
Lake Michigan has America's longest fresh water coastline. It's the world's fifth largest lake and it touches the shores of four U.S. states and Canada. It's often referred to as a "sweet water sea." |
Everyone needs a tranquil, healing sanctuary, a safe harbor from the storms of a troubled world. -- Marian Reish |

I was up and dressed before dawn and, by the time the sun was creeping over the tall pines, I was headed to the lake, camera flung over my shoulder, ready to capture the golden hour. I felt like a kid who was tiptoeing into the kitchen to steal a handful of Oreo cookies. -- Diane Arbus |
An evening mist envelopes the lake and the peace of a day almost done envelopes me. -- Marie Carroll |
Perhaps the answer depends on a walk around the lake. -- Wallace Stevens |
May your heart be like a lake, with a calm surface and great depths of kindness. -- Lao Tzu |
Why it is that my troubles disappear at the water's edge, why do they drift away to a destination far removed from my shoulders, where they had so recently resided? -- Regina Price |
Not every lake dreams of being an ocean. Fortunate are the ones who are happy with who they are. -- Mehmet Murat İldan |
