Photographer's Note
This is a shot of the extent of Indiana Dunes State Park to the east. The title for this photo, Nature痴 End, has a twofold allusion. The first is what we see in the photo: Northern Indiana Public Service Company痴 (NIPSCO) coal and natural gas-fired power plant, Michigan City Generating Station, provides quite a contrast to lush green dunes of the park beyond its eastern boundary.
The other allusion is to the history of where the power plant is located. A century ago, the land where the power plant is located was occupied by the Hoosier Slide, Indiana痴 most famous landmark. The Hoosier Slide stood 200 feet tall, easily dwarfing the other sand dunes between Lake Michigan and Michigan City. However, after it was discovered that this dune痴 sand was not only of high quality, but provided a distinctive blue color to glass jars, the Hoosier Slide disappeared by the shovelful to be melted down for glass. Today, we only have postcards, photos, written accounts, and Mason jars with a distinctive blue tint to remind us of this landmark. By 1920, the Hoosier Slide was nothing more than an expanse of flat sandy soil which was eventually sold to NIPSCO.
But nothing lasts forever. In 2018, NIPSCO announced that they would be closing the plant by 2028. Let us hope that it does not remain an eyesore but is converted to an esthetically pleasing facility for nature lovers.

Doğanın Sonu
Bu Indiana Kumulları Eyalet Parkı'nın doğudaki kapsamının bir 軻kimi. Bu fotoğrafın başlığı, Doğanın Sonu, iki ynl bir imaya sahip. Birincisi fotoğrafta grdğmz: Kuzey Indiana Kamu Hizmeti Şirketi'nin (NIPSCO) kmr ve doğal gaz yakıtlı elektrik santrali Michigan Şehri ワretim İstasyonu, yemyeşil kum tepelerine parkın doğu sınırının tesinde olduk軋 kontrast sağlıyor.
Diğer ima, santralin bulunduğu yerin tarihidir. Bir asır nce, elektrik santralinin bulunduğu arazi, Indiana地ın en nl yersimgesi Hoosier Kaydırağı tarafından işgal edilirdi. Hoosier Kaydırağı 200 ayak ykseklikteydi ve Michigan Gl ile Michigan Şehri arasındaki diğer kumulları kolayca cceleştirirdi. Bununla birlikte, bu kumulun kumunun sadece yksek kalitede değil, aynı zamanda cam kavanozlara belirgin bir mavi renk sağladığı keşfedildikten sonra, Hoosier Kaydırağı cam i輅n eritilmek zere krek krek kayboldu. Bugn, bu yersimgesini hatırlatmak i輅n sadece kartpostallarımız, fotoğraflarımız, yazılı hikayelerimiz ve farklı mavi renkte Mason kavanozlarımız var. 1920 yılına gelindiğinde, sonunda Hoosier Kaydırağı NIPSCO'ya satılan geniş bir dz kumlu topraktan başka bir şey değildi.
Ama hi軛ir şey sonsuza kadar srmez. 2018'de NIPSCO, 2028 yılına kadar santralı kapatacaklarını aıkladı. Umarım bir gudubet olarak kalmaz, doğa severler i輅n estetik aıdan hoş bir tesise dnştrlr.

Hello Murat,
Nice foreground, ugly background. I really like the view of the beach, the grass and trees and the people in colorful clothes enjoying the day by the water. To have a nicer background you will obviously have to wait until long after 2028.
Regards,
Gert

What a pity that such beautiful places of nature disappear: dunes, forests, wetlands and meadows, a very good note commenting the photo

Hello Murat,
That is how I remember the area in Indiana and Illinois near the southern tip of Lake Michigan: lots of factories and chimney stacks, which make a great contrast here with the beach and the bright green grass.

Hi Murat
I am wondering if a crop to the upper white sky and the fg oof sand to give a more wide angled panoramic shot would work better here? Anyway the bg and mid-ground are pin-sharp and the contrast between natural and industrial is stark. Tfs!
