Moon setting over Sawtooth Mountains

Yesterday was a great day for photography. I got up early to photograph the setting of the "Super Moon" over the Grand Marais harbor. It set just before sunrise so I had to get up early. The harbor was very calm and peaceful. I only heard the sound of the herring gulls calling. While I was taking this photo I did smell the pleasant aroma of the crew making the days supply of “World Best Doughnuts” as it drifted over the harbor. I had to go buy some when I finished.

Melting Sunrise

Just behind me the sun came up. It seemed like it didn’t want to let go of the horizon as it looked like it was melting back into the lake.

Heading out fishing

Soon fishermen were headed out to fish the big lake.

Moonrise over Grand Marais Harbor 001

Yesterday evening is when the "Super Moon" came up behind the lighthouse from the opposite direction that I photographed that morning. There were lots of other photographers out since there was going to be an eclipse also.

After it got dark the lights reflected across the Grand Marais harbor.

Eclipse

I did photograph the eclipse for a while. It clouded up right after this photo so I never did see the total eclipse.
