Lake Michigan Sunset. Photo © Jim Doty Jr.

It rained all the way along the drive from Detroit to Mackinaw City in northern Michigan. Chances for a nice sunset looked slim.

It was overcast in Mackinaw City just before sunset, but the sky began to lighten in the west. The clouds thinned a bit and the sun peaked through momentarily and disappeared. Things began to happen and a drab sky turned into a nice sunset. A good thing. I rained all the next day.

“It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” Don’t give up on a sunset, even if chances look slim.
