August Sturgeon Full Moon 001
The scenic harbor in Grand Marais is one of the many reasons people voted it the “Coolest Small Town in America”. This week with the rising of the August Sturgeon Full moon the harbor was even more magical. I photographed it two nights in a row.

The Morning Star visited Grand Marais and happened to be anchored in just the right spot.

The first night the moon came up right at sunset giving plenty color as it passed by the lighthouse.

The second night was as magical as the first. The moon came up 30 minutes later making everything a little bit darker.

The wisp of clouds added to the ambiance. Several people stood along the shore either watching or taking photos.
