Overview

These stunning bird's-eye views offer rare and beautiful glimpses of northern Michigan's unique terrain from the lofty perch of photographer Marge Beaver's camera lens. Beaver's breathtaking four-season photographs transform our view of Michigan into a magical land. From the Sleeping Bear dune in winter with its vertiginous sandy edifice to a Coast Guard cutter shattering the icy Straits to the ghostly silhouette of a sunken ship and the brilliant turquoise waters of Crystal, Torch, Elk, Charlevoix, and Glen lakes, these are images of Michigan as you've never seen her before. All of these, plus arresting photographs of cherry orchards in snowy-white bloom, winding rivers, and deep green forests make this book a collector's item for anyone who loves Michigan.
