Dead Trees, Grand Sable Dunes, Michigan

We're on a pretty pix rampage.
Here's the National Geographic Picture of the Day


Photograph by Phil Schermeister, 1991

"Long-deceased trees cling stubbornly to the steep flanks of Grand Sable Dunes in Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The precipitous dunes, left behind by ancient glaciers, rise some 300 feet (90 meters) above Lake Superior and spread over 5 square miles (13 square kilometers)."
