Construction Zone on Torch Lake
When I started Torch Lake Views everybody in the township concluded that I had a pipeline to Information Sources Not Available to the Average Person. Ha. Mostly I wander around taking pictures and asking questions and paying attention to the answers. Plus, I go to the public meetings of various public bodies and—this is key—I stay […]
The water: Always the lake
October 19, 2009
Katherine has weighed in on Scott Thomas’s Water Assignment.* She writes: In between finding the last of the tomatoes, getting the garden ready for winter and walking the dog, there’s, always the lake. At times calm, serene, quiescent with the potential to tear boats from their moorings and destroy rafts. It’s another beautiful day in the neighborhood and […]
The water, and under the water, the history
October 17, 2009
Scott Thomas (Views Infinitum), a photographer from the lake district of western New York, made an assignment: Water, he wrote, moves, stands still, creates and destroys. Capture it. Around here, the water has pretty much captured us. It’s our livelihood, our passion, our cradle, our place of rest. And below the surface there are echoes of our […]

Letters from Katherine: Anger
September 28, 2009
The weather has turned. Rollers crash on the Lake Michigan beaches. Rain falls sideways. Roiling black clouds flew east across the drumlins today, dropping a rainbow on Owen McDowell’s woodlot and a lot of rain on Bayview Farm. John Sala said the harmonics from the halyards clanging against sailboat masts in the Elk Rapids harbor […]
Torch Lake dreams in the morning mist
September 19, 2009
This is such a lovely letter from Katherine. She writes: Got up early to go to work this morning and took the dog to the lake. Then had to go back to the house for the camera. This is what was going on. The lake was giving up some of its heat, in preparation for […]
