I have spent a significant amount of time in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, especially the Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks, and Tahquamenon Falls areas. Given that this is my home state it’s always nice to photograph its beauty, and it is beautiful.
It’s not called the Great Lake State for nothing. Water everywhere. The Upper Peninsula should probably be called The Great Waterfall Peninsula since water cascading and/or seeping, as depicted in this image “Mountain Tears”, can be found around every turn.
I photographed this image while on a multi-day backpack through the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness. It was an absolute glorious day when I produced this VAST Ultra High-Resolution Image. The trail I was on passed by an area of moss and moisture on stone walls that I thought looked quite interesting. I always think in terms of, “Would I want this imagery hanging over my couch?” and the answer here was an emphatic, “Yes!”
Title Origin: The title “Mountain Tears” can be interpreted a couple ways, I guess. But due to my completely enjoying the hike, the fantastic day that it was, and are you ready for this, those of you who may be familiar with the area … there were no mosquitoes! Unfortunately, with water, often comes mosquitoes. So, my interpretation of “Mountain Tears” is that these were not tears of sadness, but tears of immense joy. Especially for the no mosquitos part.
Thanks ... and thanks again,
David David
