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

July was a very busy month dealing with extended family visits, a reunion and more. August has brought a somewhat slower pace and a chance to do photography that was not family oriented. Although, I did sneak in a few … Continue reading
Dawn over Lake Superior next to the north pier of the Duluth entry to the harbor.
In August of 2016 I captured an image of the Paul R. Tregurtha as she left the harbor and headed out to Lake Superior. The sunrise painted a lovely glow down her side as she steamed away.
Fast forward to January 2022 and the same ship is arriving back to the harbor at sunset. The two images will make for a perfect triptych.

Every year in Duluth the city creates a lighting spectacle in Bayfront Park on the harbor. Bentleyville draws thousands of visitors from all over to witness this event and it was recently featured on The Great Christmas Light Fight!
The December full moon was on the 11th and I hoped to capture an image of the moon, Bentleyville and the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge. After first using Photopills to scout possible vantage points to shoot from, I settled on a spot along the Superior Hiking Trail that offered a view of all three. I went out earlier in the day to inspect the site, felt it would work well. In the light, it seemed like it had everything I was looking for.
However, come night, it did not live up to my expectations. It had too much foreground, the moon was higher than I had hoped for and overall, seemed to be lacking something.
Sadly, the weather the next day would be snowy and cloudy so no re-shoot was possible. I did take one of the images and crop to a panorama that, again, not great, but fun and colorful to look at.
It’s been awhile since I’ve roused myself early enough for a sunrise, almost missed this one too. The chunks of ice are remnants of Lake Superior ice that blew in during our most recent storm.
All is quiet in the harbor.
