Wilcox Red Bard
Concord, Mich.
One of my favorite sites in the morning is this red barn. The way the sunrise hits it, and the shadows, the deep red – it’s lovely.
Dappled Sunlight Golden
I originally stopped off the side of the road to grab a few photos of sandhill cranes. But the cranes were not cooperative, so I had to work with the sunrise on the side of the road.
Sunset on the Georgian Bay
Lake Huron – Tobermory, Ontario
That sliver of land way out there on the horizon? That’s Manitoulin Island.
The Lodge
The lodge at Tobermory, Ontario, offered a perfect view of Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay off the back patio. The way the light came into the main sitting room was perfect.
Red Top Motor Inn
You want a great place to stay along Highway 17 in Ontario, along the Georgian Bay in Lake Huron? Give the Red Top Motor Inn a try.
It’s classic motor lodge, with vintage decorations, Centennial design, and a great dining area.
That’s what’s great about these roadside motels in Ontario: a ton of them have little restaurants attached, with great food.
