The temp was -12F when I ran from my warm car to capture a few shots before dashing back the the warmth of my heated seat. The water of Lake Superior is warmer than the air which produces the mist, also known as sea smoke.

The cold has tightened it’s grip upon the land and is making every effort to smother everything in it’s path. I get shivers just looking at this image.
The annual Bentleyville “Tour of Lights” is in full swing in Duluth right now through December 26th. This popular attraction draws thousands to the area and every year. This past week the warmer than usual temperatures have made for even larger crowds.
It was one of those rare nights when the harbor was perfectly calm allowing for near perfect reflections of the Aerial Lift Bridge. The only camera I had with me was my iPhone 7 Plus so quality is not as good as I would prefer. I did however use the ProCam app which allowed me to shoot RAW with the hope of salvaging a decent final image. Editing was done on my iPad with Adobe Lightroom CC.
