Challenging weather days around Lake Superior brings out photographers trying to get that great storm shot. It amazes me just how many people will brave the elements to come out and witness Lake Superior when the strong northeast winds bring big waves to Duluth. We may not have hurricanes here, but Gitche Gummi can do her best impression of one.
The Glensheen Mansion is a popular stop in Duluth for those wishing to experience the history and grandeur of Lake Superior living. On occasion the grounds and buildings are opened to the public for free for photography events. I made my first trip this morning to scout it out and capture a few images.
The reward of being willing to get oneself out of bed early in the morning are moments like this.
Canon 5D Mark IV, ISO 50, 15mm, f/10, 3.2 sec and the usual mucking about to achieve the desired effect.
The Wagenborg “Victoriaborg” on her way into the Duluth harbor.
Once again, if nature provides the subject, who am I to not document the beauty?

High winds from the northeast are building big waves on Lake Superior today and everyone is out enjoying the view.
When nature provides, I’m not going to say no.
