How a Photographer Snapped This Fall-tastic Devil’s Lake Panorama

As the creator of tourists information DevilsLakeWisconsin.com, Derrick A. Mayoleth is contained in the gem of our state park system extra days than he isn’t. And come fall, his viewers has a singular focus: peak colour.

He begins accumulating and posting photographs from the park’s foliage weekly in late September. (This shot of the famed Devil’s Doorway rock formation was captured in mid-October of a late-color yr.)

All informed, he’s shot greater than 33,000 photographs of Wisconsin’s busiest state park – respectfully, he provides. “The downside of tourism and influencer marketing these days is that the park becomes an attraction to exploit, rather than a natural space to explore,” he says. “My goal is to not simply promote a space, but to connect people to the natural environment.”

The Big Picture is a month-to-month characteristic in Milwaukee Magazine that explores images of Milwaukee and Wisconsin. If you will have a photograph you’d prefer to be thought of, e-mail Creative Director Chelsea Mamerow at [email protected].
