22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunrise over Big Bay Park

Madeline Island Morning Early morning hours at the Big Bay Town Park looking southeast as the sun rises over the island. I was attending the historic encampment at the Madeline Island Museum and rose early to explore the island. Stopping at Big Bay Park I walked down to the Big Bay Beach to sit and wait among the soft pines for the beginning of a new day. Peacefully and quietly all of nature awoke around me as the sun rose.
