Lake Superior Shoreline Ice 001

The continued cold and wind created some beautiful ice formations along the shore of East Bay in downtown Grand Marais.

The spray from the lapping waves formed hundreds of icicles and covered the rocks.

Cold temperatures made interesting cloud formations over the Grand Marais Harbor.

Look closely at the clouds directly above the Grand Marais light. Can you see the girl with lots of curls in her hair? She reminds me of a cartoon character or someone that I remember from a childhood fairy tale.

Waiting for the "Wolf Moon"

On Saturday I presented a program on photographing the full moon at Split Rock Lighthouse. Later we gathered on the beach to photograph the full moon behind the light.

It appeared as though the clouds were going to open enough to let the moon shine through but it wasn’t to be.

Even without the moon, there were many photo opportunities.

About 100 people got to enjoy seeing the Split Rock beacon that evening.
