Thank you so much. This is actually on Grand Island MI, with a "normal " amount of post processing in Lightroom because I shoot raw, and added a little blue to the sky , I did shoot with a polarizer so the rocks under water is legit.

One last one for Feb.
This is the old warehouse at the Lower Sioux agency. Prior to the Sioux uprising of 1862, this building was used to store goods to be distributed to the native people as a result the treaty of 1851. This build was built just before hostilities began....whites of course did not live up to the treaty agreements and the people were near starvation....One day the Indians stormed the warehouse and took flour, salted meats and other commodities to feed their families.
