Wednesday Filler: Empire Dunes from the North

The eastern shore of Lake Michigan is nearly one long beach, which is a bit of an understatement in some areas.

Taken from one of the last scenic viewpoints on Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.  

Ancient glacial melt-waters carrying tons of sand, persistent winds, and a giant lake to keep pushing sediments around?  The result is what you see above.
