Love These Beautiful Mornings

Although it was only three degrees above zero, I was warmed by the beauty and warmth of the rising sun over Lake Superior.

Frostbite Photography!

Fortunately I did not get frostbite while capturing this sunrise at nine degrees. Which would seem warm after our recent cold snap with temps hitting 20+ below zero.

That’s not calm water reflecting the lighthouse, it’s ice.

Morning Sky over Lake Superior

I have not often seen this type of banding in the morning sky, but thought it was pretty interesting.

A Tough Choice

This gallery contains 2 photos.

Horizontal or vertical? For me, it’s a tough choice as to which one I will print. On the ledge rock at Gooseberry Falls State Park in northern Minnesota with a Fujifilm GFX 100s and Venus Optics Loawa 17mm lens.

One More from the Ledge Rock

This is the sunrise that was creating such beautiful colors in the western sky. I love a morning when there is eye candy in every direction. Gooseberry Falls State Park.

Misty Mornings Are Special

It was one of those unplanned trips down an unfamiliar road that lead to this wonderful moment.

Waiting For the Sun

Early mornings by Lake Superior often provide beautiful color for the early riser.
