Surfing on Lake Superior in Duluth

This gallery contains 60 photos.

On Friday, November 11th, I spent time on Park Point in Duluth to not only enjoy a cool snowy morning, but to also photograph the many surfers that came to ride the waves.

On the Beach

Playing with arrangements and allowing the waves to wash over and add shine.

The Wild Side of Lake Superior

High winds from the northeast are building big waves on Lake Superior today and everyone is out enjoying the view.

Moments

A brief moment by the lake before the cool breeze pushed back, then the moment was gone.  But, for that moment, an opportunity to commune with the Great Lake, to listen to the song of the waves, to be touched by the fingers of wind as they move through her hair.  How many more of these moments exist for her, for any of us?

Wind and Water

We have very strong winds in Minnesota today which is causing some serious wave action on Lake Superior.  I took a short drive to a spot just up the shore from Duluth called Stoney Point to see if there was a possible photo op, yep!  Stoney Point is also the location of an old fishing shack, which has probably been photographed by every photographer in the area and beyond.  Everyone has there own take on the relic, I’ve included one of mine.

Agitated

Agitation, confusion, rock, water and sky,

step back from the edge, watch the spray fly,

get too close, you will not stay dry.

Low Tide

A walk on the beach at low tide…an opportunity for reflection.
