"Behind The Door" a photographer's perspectives on the unique cultural, historic, and natural diversity of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula.
I make my home on the perpetually breezy shores of the Door County peninsula in Northeast Wisconsin - a sliver of rock cleaved from the rest of the state during the last ice age and jutting out like a broken thumb 80 miles into Lake Michigan, the 4th largest body of fresh water on Earth. There are many fantastic photo opportunities here, year-round with more State Parks, more lighthouses, and more miles of shoreline than any other county in the US. The uplands are dotted with tidy orchards and family dairy farms - some going back 6 generations. Below, the coastal villages teem with sport fish, old-world traditions and more than a century and a half of continuous shipbuilding. Once, timber was king. Now there are over 31,000 acres of protected habitat. Come with me as we discover and photograph “tip to tail” - Behind the Door!

Hi, Kevin! I always look forward to a new video from you! They check so many boxes for me! Gardening is my first passion, but not far behind are watching the ships on the Great Lakes, photography, and the oh so beautiful music you entwine in the gorgeous scenery! All these feed my soul. You've done it again! (The purple flower looks like Geramium "Rozanne")
Wishing you the best Kevin. Looking forward to more adventures and things I'll never see here in Arizona.
I have been to Cape Cod ... I'll take Door County over it any day!
Thank you.. This years Autumn was beyond amazing for Michigan and Wisconsin it looks like! I really enjoy doing photoshoots with barns. I don't get to do it often, but when i can, I sure take the opportunity. I hope surgery goes well for you and you recover smoothly and quickly. Glad to see Coleen is doing great! Two years already is crazy... time goes by way to quickly. Can't wait to see your winter layup videos. Always something to look forward to!
Hi Kevin, Wishing you all the best for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery. I really enjoyed the podcast, especially your essay about Disappearing Door. We purchased the print simply because we loved it, but your essay has given us a much deeper appreciation of its meaning. Thanks for the video, look forward to the next one!
Thank you, Tim!
I do enjoy your videos! Good luck with your procedures and have a wonderful holiday!
love what you do Kevin ....Enjoy it very much ...Good luck with the surgery and Merry Christmas to you and your wife
Yes, it has been a year of maladies for many folks I know, including myself. I pray for swift healing for your upcoming procedures and many blessings for the New Year to you and yours! The Fall Colors video was beautiful! God Bless.
Can’t wait for your winter layup videos
Love your videos and your material, get well and get back to work.
Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery, Kevin! I so look forward to your videos, they're are so beautifully photographed. My prayers also to your lovely wife, Colleen, that all continues to go well with her health. Happy Holidays!
Best of health to you and your lovely wife. Here's hoping the professionals will have a great day when your under the knife to get the shutters removed. Greetings from Denmark.
I sure got a chuckle out of you trying to direct those horses. I had the same lid surgery only my eyesight didn't get that bad. You will look like a raccoon for a while. What a beautiful barn. Thanks for the video and happy Thanksgiving.
Sweet. Happy Thanksgiving. If what you've been doing is the work of a man with limited vision, I can't wait to see what comes next.
Your summer sounds like it was fun, although busy. The book is beautiful and would make a great gift for anyone. Congratulations on going into your 2nd printing. Glad to hear Colleen is doing well, may she continue having great checkups. Best of luck on your upcoming surgery. Can't wait to watch your next video post. Happy Thanksgiving to you both. As for the horses moving, it might be easier to move the manure😂
Love what you do, Kevin. Wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery. I cannot begin to express my excitement for another one of your winter layup videos. You've inspired me to get out there with my camera and capture life as it happens. Take care of yourself, and congrats to your wife as well for being cancer free.
Just ordered your book, as a Xmas gift to myself. I live near Racine WI but we have a vacation Condo in Egg Harbor. Been watching your Videos for many years now. Get well soon Kevin.
The book is on its way! I hope you enjoy it. Thank you, Jay!
Pretty soon all of the Ladies will be coming in for winter layup.hopefully you will get some footage of that. I really enjoy those videos because I use to work at Bay Shipbuilding and worked on a lot of the ships
Thanks for the memories.
Thank you Kevin!
What kind of drone do you have?
DJI Mavic Air 3 with the Fly More Combo and RC-2 controller. (I recently replaced my Mavic 2 Fly More Combo drone which I am putting up for sale if you are interested!) Perfect condition. New controller.
@ Awesome maybe interested depending on the price
@@LeviJones946 Levi, you can contact me personally at my email address here www.kevinodonnell.photography/contact and we can discuss. I'm happy to send you the information, photos and details.
One of your best! You never disappoint. Thank you!!
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful footage! I was lucky enough to catch her at the Duluth canal in July this summer which was a rather rare occurrence this year and hear the magnificent Barker bark! Thank you for this!
Great video, thank-you! Hope you feel better.
Never knew that shoal was there, it doesn't give them a whole lot of room to maneuver.
I just discovered this gem 3 years ago! Such a special place.
Breathtaking! Fall on the northern Great Lakes really is as good as it gets.
Thanks Kevin. I'm looking forward to video of the winter fleet arrival.
Filmography of this video is great! A wonderful story told as well! Videos like this inspire me to do more with my drone! Thank you for sharing. Always enjoy the content of this channel!
Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for the video. Awesome view of the reef.
Always enjoy your videos and masterful storytelling. The Barker is my all-time favorite ship, so what a special treat this was! Bummer no Barker Bark for all the onlookers though. Hope you feel better soon.
I like the flashing light you added to your drone. They get hard to see at a distance.
Why is she backing down?😃 Hope you get feeling better.
At 1004 feet in length there is no place in the bay for her to turn around to back into the slips at Bay Ship. The turning basin is at Sherwood Point where Sturgeon Bay meets the bay of Green Bay.
Beautiful video. I love the Barker bark. Looking forward to her sailing again. Thank you. Hope you feel better.
I always get excited when you send the drone up because it always delivers stunning results. If I might be so bold to add how grateful we are for your abilities in capturing the moment and sharing with us. Always a pleasure Kevin.
What a lovely video to start my day! The serene calm it gives me helps to put a smile on my face. I'm enjoying a hot cup of coffee watching this majestic beast glide down this glowing path with the morning sun hitting it so beautifully as I gear up my energies to tackle another day of an unplanned bathroom renovation! Guess how much fun it will be? Taking a 140-year-old house with 90-year-old plumbing and converting it to modern-day plumbing? You can do the math! Lol! Have a wonderful day and I hope you will feel batter!
Beautiful video to watch while enjoying breakfast. Decided from fall colors , we came about 3 weeks to early. As always a beautiful job. Thank You
Yes, you definitely are blessed to do what you do and enjoy it! This was a wonderful video with lots of wonderful pictures as always, have a great day Kevin 😊❤
Beautiful video. Hope the JRB gets repaired and but on the water soon. This hasn't been a good year for the freighters, they are the workhorses of the shipping industry.
Saw it sitting at the shipyard when I came thru the other day ending my trip up to Door County. You do a great job making ore boats look majestic
Nice work Kevin as always!
My first video today. How wonderful Kevin. Great job.
I will have to check this place out. Always looking for good ideas for my gardens.
Kevin - I’ll be coming up to The Door Monday for a few days . Is there somewhere I can pick up you book in Sturgeon Bay or elsewhere?
Absolutely! Novel Bay Booksellers, 44 N. 3rd Ave. or on the west side at Articipation Studio & Gallery 10 E. Oak St. or the Door County Maritime Museum Gift Store 120 N. Madison Ave. All are in Sturgeon Bay. Thank you for buying local and I hope you enjoy your stay in our peninsula paradise!
Gaura Whirling Butterflies- first flower composition. 💗
Thank you! Anyone else who can weigh in on identifying the flowers I photographed please chime in. Thanks!
Beautiful hideaway, one could get lost in the peacefulness and beauty there. As for your book, if anyone it looking for a special gift for someone, this should be on the list. The gift receiver, wouldn't be disappointed. Can't wait to go on your next adventure, wherever that shall be.
Thank you for your continued support!
Kevin, thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures. For those of us who can no longer travel, your first-person accounts are priceless and a treasure. In regard to your new book, might want to consider a safety warning of "Buyer Beware" that if you open his book and begin reading that you will not put it down till you have completely read it. If you love Kevin's TH-cam vids, this is a must have keepsake. Thank you for every mile and moment you have shared in this beautiful life.
Thank you! Maybe I should hire you to do my PR! LOL
This is fabulous! We were in Door County two weeks ago, had a wonderful time. Where on 42 is this located? Would loved to have stopped. As always thanks for great videos. Love your book. We can’t wait to come back to Door County.
