Harbor Beach





The exact name of the park is "Judge James Lincoln Memorial Park".  The family must have made a significant contribution of funds to have this park developed.  It is a very nice place for families to picnic and enjoy the beach.   I like walking the boardwalk and watching the seagulls and boats sail by. It rained the first day I visited and a tornado touched down in another small town in close proximity.  We could see the cloud funnel forming from the distance.  We knew we were in for a severe storm.  The winds were so strong that trees and branches were falling across the roads.  We drove in the opposite direction of the tornado warnings and still faced a savage rain beating against the windows. Weather changes very quickly and without warning.

Lightening Under the Trees

 
It was thundering and lightening tonight so I tried to capture the light from the yard lantern flickering in the rain.  The night sky had flashes of light that brighten the surrounding area with a reddish tint.  The light shining between two trees makes the front tree look crooked.  This photo has a weird and spooky effect for Halloween.
