Shades of Orange

"The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again."

- Ram Charan

 

Early morning light on the south pier of the Duluth, Minnesota ship canal. This ship canal, located on Lake Superior at the "Head of the Lakes," is the main entrance to the Duluth/Superior harbor, one of the busiest ports in the United States.

 

This natural harbor handles mainly iron ore from Minnesota's iron mines bound for steel mills on the Great Lakes to the east, and various grains from U.S. farms bound for countries abroad.

 

The south pier lighthouse in this photo is partially obscuring the Victoriaborg, a "salty" flying the flag of the Netherlands, anchored and waiting to take on a load of wheat at Riverland Ag.
