Beaver Island's Highest Viewpoint by taffy

Beaver Island's Highest Viewpoint

This was site #5 on the Beaver Island Garden Tour today. We learned it actually has a higher viewpoint (over the trees to the lake) than Mt. Pisgah, our 'mountain' sand dune. The house is on four levels, covered in beautiful ground covers an done of three structures on the grounds. Typical Beaver Island? Nope, not even a little! We've been spending summers here since 1991 and I had no idea this existed.

That looks like a quirky place to live. The handrail creates a great leading line.

Great POV. I love all the features others have mentioned and that wonderful wall at the top

What a lovely spot, and amazing how it is all made of wood - the house, the stairs, the rails.

Your pov almost gives it a tree house quality.

I thought that too, Joan- a lovely treehouse. What a beautiful shot, Taffy.

This is a great shot and a beautiful vantage point, using the staircase very effectively to lead us up to the house. I'm sure you have taken more shots here...did you perhaps try one with a wider angle (unlikely, you're at 14mm already) or in portrait format to include all of the trees?

I love Beaver Island. I was last there many years ago when my niece and nephew were very young. I imagine it has changed greatly. But, knowing Michigan, it may not have changed at all.
July 17th, 2014  
wow so beautiful

We have a Mt Pisgah here too, not far from where I live! Got to find out more about this name! What an interesting place this is!
July 17th, 2014  
Found out that the word Pisgah is Hebrew for high place!
July 17th, 2014  
@maggiemae No wonder we see mountains with that name. Of course, on BI, it's barely a sand dune! Thanks for sharing!

Nice....I love your low POV! Isn't it nice to discover new places, especially someplace you have been coming to forever?!

Looks lovely! As I've begun setting up photo shoots for our camera club I'm learning that you can miss a lot of things no matter how long you've lived somewhere!

Instantly a fav! reminds me in a way of Riven, the sequel to Myst...
