Still water, low fog, and the soft line where lake meets sky. These photographs stay with calm surfaces, small islands and passing boats, inviting a slower kind of looking and a little room to rest.

Sailor, Lake Michigan — Minimalist color fine art photograph of a lone sailboat on the tranquil blue waters of Lake Michigan near Milwaukee by John Magnoski — Sailor, Lake Michigan

In fog, the far shore disappears. What remains is enough: a low island, a line of trees, still water holding their reflection.

Grand Marais Bay in Fog — Fine art photograph of Grand Marais harbor shrouded in luminous fog on Lake Superior, Minnesota by John Magnoski — Grand Marais Bay in Fog

A harbor, a moored boat, a single sail, a lighthouse on its cliff. Then the shore falls away, and what is left is open water, level to the horizon.

Soaring, Stillness — Fine art photograph of a seagull hovering gracefully above the calm waters of Lake Michigan by John Magnoski — Soaring, Stillness

I pressed the shutter, the sound resonating in the stillness—an image of perfect tranquility.
