One of the vistas from the top of Sleeping Bear Dunes (now a national park). Back then it was approximately 600 in elevation above Lake Michigan, but I think it lost about 50 feet to high winds a few years ago. This was shot in September 1994 - Nikon F3HP - TechPan 25 - lens is the Nikkor 35-105 ais. You can see both North and South Manitou islands off the coast - approximately 7-10 miles from the nearest shore. For some reason, my search used Leland (a fishing village) as the nearest point of reference - which makes it 12-16 miles from shore. However, if you are ever up north on the Leelanau peninsula, go to Petersen Park - it is directly opposite the gap between the two islands on a bluff. Best sunsets ever!
