The great lake ship, Edgar B Speer, entering the harbor in Two Harbors Minnesota.
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.
I have finished my week of training as a Minnesota Slip Bridge operator and am now prepared to spend many hours this summer on duty with the bridge and near the water. I’ve discovered that all the activities going on around the bridge can be very distracting and that one never takes their eyes off the bridge when it’s in operation. Other than that, I’m looking forward to an exciting several months hanging out at the harbor. After all, I’ve got a view from my office that’s hard to beat.
