Distant Shores

Distant Shores is a visual and musical journey along the Great Lakes of Superior, Michigan, and Huron. The beauty of these inland seas, which comprise North America’s Midwest Coast, is legendary and has inspired artists, writers and poets for centuries. Richard Olsenius compiled this iBook of stories, images, video and music while on assignment for National Geographic Magazine. He has captured the strength and endurance of the people and landscape of this region through his cameras and keyboards in a deeply moving and emotional portfolio.
