Bridge Across the Sky

Sometimes, well, lots of times, it’s fun to look at the world a bit differently.

2022 #OptOutside Jay Cooke State Park

Once again I chose to skip the mayhem of Black Friday shopping and join the many who prefer to spend time outdoors rather than in lines at the mall. This year I was accompanied by family and friends at Jay Cooke State Park, which, like all Minnesota state Parks, was open to the public for free admission on Black Friday.

Here are a few of the images from the day.

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.
