Gray Sky Over Port Oneida

by James Filkins

/

about

Port Oneida, part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, is located on the eastern end of Sleeping Bear Bay. From Port Oneida up to Pyramid Point there are many incredible views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands to the Northwest. The community of Port Oneida owes its name to a steamship, the SS Oneida, which docked here early in its existence.
As I look out anywhere along the bluff that follows the shoreline up to Pyramid Point, I witness the shoreline below, the expanse of Lake Michigan, and the flight of gulls in the vast sky reaching out between the Manitou Islands.
A sense of longing for a time that lies beyond, a journey, an adventure or even a memory that subtly beckons. On an overcast day, this longing is intensified and intermingled with the raw beauty and presence of nature, infusing the moment with a sort of primaeval power.
This feeling was the inspiration for this tune. If you close your eyes while listening, the talented cellist Joasia Cieslak creates sublime sonic textures that emulate the sky, and the gulls, and meld with my guitar to bring this feeling and moment to life.
