This photograph pair was taken north of the modern observation platform at the Sleeping Bear Overlook. The platform was not present when the original 1964 photograph was taken. While much of this area remains bare sand atop ancient lake sediment, the 2019 photograph shows an advance of some grasses and especially woody vegetation. The research team would like to thank the staff at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for their assistance in recapturing this photograph.
