Holland State Park, Holland

I love the Holland State Park! Its dunes are some of my favorite to photograph in, since they have lovely trees and logs scattered among them. There’s a marina and an old brick building up the road we can photograph at as well. As for the beach, it can be crowded at times, so keep that in mind. Unfortunately the pier gets in the way of the sunset here, so if you’re looking for a clean sunset image with no highly-populated piers in the background, this park is NOT for you. I apologize for any obnoxious people on the pier in advance!
