Dunes Creek Meets Lake Michigan, a photo from Indiana, Midwest

Photographer's Note

On the way home from Wheaton, we stopped at Indiana Dunes State Park. This was taken at the swimming area where Dunes Creek empties into Lake Michigan.

According to Wikipedia, Dunes Creek is a northwards-flowing 4.3-mile-long (6.9 km) stream which drains the Great Marsh of Indiana Dunes State Park and Indiana Dunes National Park in Porter County, Indiana. Dunes Creek passes through the coastal sand dunes to empty into Lake Michigan. Dunes Creek suffers from E. coli contamination likely related to ditching and draining of wetlands rather than anthropogenic point sources. Discharge from Dunes Creek into Lake Michigan causes chronic beach closures. Sampling of its sister creek, Derby Ditch, which also drains the Great Marsh, and Painterville Creek, in Warren Dunes State Park, Michigan show similar broad distributions of E. coli.

J. D. Marshall's Propeller: The sign next to this propeller reads: "... This propeller from the J. D. Marshall is a reminder of the dangerous power of Lake Michigan storms. On June 11, 1911, the J. D. Marshall sank 300 yards offshore from the Beach Pavillion..."

Kumullar Çayı Michigan Gölü ile Buluşuyor

Wheaton'dan eve dönerken Indiana Kumullar Eyalet Parkı'nda durduk. Bu, Dunes (Kumullar) Çayı’nın Michigan Gölü'ne boşaldığı yüzme alanında çekildi.

Vikipedi’ye göre, Kumullar Çayı, Indiana, Porter İlçesi'ndeki Indiana Kumullar Eyalet Parkı ve Indiana Kumullar Milli Parkı'nın Büyük Bataklığı'nı boşaltan, kuzeyden akan 4.3 mil uzunluğunda (6.9 km) bir deredir. Kumullar Çayı Michigan Gölü içine boşalmak için kıyı kum tepelerini geçer. Kumullar Çayı, muhtemelen antropojenik nokta kaynaklarından ziyade sulak alanların tahliyesi ve boşaltılmasıyla ilgili E. coli kontaminasyonundan muzdariptir. Kumullar Çayı'ndan Michigan Gölü'ne deşarj, kronik plaj kapanmalarına neden olur. Büyük Bataklığı da boşaltan kardeş deresi Derby Hendeği'nin, ve Michigan, Warren Kumullar Eyalet Parkı'ndaki Painterville Çayı’nın örneklemesi, E. coli'nin benzer geniş dağılımlarını göstermektedir.

A nice summer picture and good division from the creek estuary to the big lake, Murat.
People action on the beach enliven and gave interest to the scene.
have a nice new week,
Ike

Hello Murat,
It's a pleasant view of the families relaxing on the narrow spit of land between the creek and the lake. They create a good atmosphere, and also very good reflections. I like the balance between the various blue tones and the light brown. It's a very good combination of human touch and soft colors.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Murat,
I think we saw these dunes mentioned on the traffic signs on the Interstate on our way to Chicago, but never stopped there. A very nice and calm view of the lake, the beach and the people there, who add both colour and reflections to the photo.

Hi Murat

At first I was confused, as Indiana is a long way from the Atlantic, Pacific Oceans, and the Gulf of Mexico. Then it dawned on me that it must be one of the Great Lakes. A nice reflection with good sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Murat,
these lakes are amazing! So huge that they really feel like seas.
Nice capture here, I didn't know there are also sandy beaches along the lakes coast.
Very good POV with the people nicely reflecting in the water surface.
Charming relaxing scene,
M

murat

curious the waters are contaminated... anyway looks like a beach with the fake ocean ahead, nice inclusion of the people, including a guy avoiding the creek waters.

take care
