Spectacular Sunset on I94 From Indiana to Illinois

December 8, 2024 RoninsGrips

We visited some friends last night and were treated to an amazing sunset on I94 starting with golds and moving to reds and purples. It really got spectacular around Porter, Indiana, and we watched it peak and fade. Shortly after we left I94 and turned onto I80 towards Mokena, the sunset faded completely.

My phone was in its cradle so I would just occasionally push the photo button and grab what it saw. When set at 200 megapixels, a Samsung’s S24 Ultra’s camera is pretty cool. My wife, who always takes better pictures than me, has the same model phone and took some also.

The photos are in a “tiled gallery” – if you click on one, it will open up and you can navigate around:

I shot the ones in portrait (tall and narrow) mode and my wife took the cool landscape (wide) oriented photos. See – I told you she’s better.

I hope you enjoy the photos. I’ve driven on I94 so many times, I couldn’t even guess how many sunsets I have seen. Without a doubt, this was probably the most stunning sunset on I94 I’ve ever seen.

View at Dusk From the St. Joseph, MI, Piers – August 5, 2024

My wife and I were walking on the South Pier in Saint Joseph, MI. It was a quiet evening with clouds and everything had a soft hue. As we were walking out, there was a sailboat bobbing about under way and made for some nice shots.

The following is a tiled gallery – click on the photo you wish to see and you can navigate from there.

I hope you enjoyed the photos

Sunset In Saint Joseph, MI – View From The Pier On August 7th, 2024

September 14, 2024 RoninsGrips

My wife and I like going for evening walks. One of our places is the pier on the St. Joseph side of the Saint Joseph River. On August 7th, 2024, we were treated to a spectacular sunset starting with yellows, shifting to reds, then purples and finally night. It was a perfect time to snap some photos.

The following photos are thumbnails, click on whichever you want to start with and then you can navigate around once the photo is open:

We’ve lived in Saint Joseph for over 33 years now and watched some beautiful sunsets. They are all uniquely in their own way – the colors, clouds, what’s going on in the lake, etc. This side of Michigan is known as the “Sunset Coast” for good reason.

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

Sunset at Lions Beach, Saint Joseph, MI, July 22, 2019

August 19, 2023 RoninsGrips

Yeah, I should be working right now but in digging for photos for a project, I found these sunset beach photos from four years ago that I thought would be cool to share.

We were a few hundred yards North of the water treatment facility near the playground equipment. There had been some violent storms that had washed out tons of sand (literally) and uncovered some of the old breakwaters that had been mostly hidden for years. The waves were hitting them and splashing up plus the sunset was quite pretty that night.

The following is a gallery, if you click on a photo, it will open up full size and then you can move around.
