Bright tan-orange sand (from nearby outcrops of Precambrian Jacobsville sandstone) contrasted nicely with the clean blue waters of Lake Superior, and a soft blue sky brushed by streets of stratus. The morning had dawned cool and overcast. This hole in the stratus deck formed in late morning and expanded throughout midday, as solar heating and boundary-layer mixing over land—some of which translated just offshore in the southwesterly winds—eroded more of the cloud cover than farther north and over water.
