I took this shot about 30 years ago, soon after I completed building this fence along our side yard. It's still standing strong, although that deogar cedar tree behind the fence has gotten way out of control.

Woo! Cape Split, Nova Scotia. The hike's worth it.. the hike is about 4 hours there&back. Doesn't sound that bad, but the trails aren't that easy.
The people down there are a couple friends I went with.
Yeah I know, the ocean kinda slants on the right side, but the sun was glaring on my camera screen so bad I couldn't see what I was doing.
Looks so much better bigger:(
Split Rock Lighthouse, Lake Superior North Shore, Minnesota
After a storm on Nov. 28, 1905 had damaged 29 ships, Congress authorized $70,000 to build a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock. The light station was completed in 1910.
The light was taken out of service in 1969 when modern navigation methods made it obsolete, but the beacon is lit once a year on November 10th to commemorate the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I have made the beacon lighting ceremony the last two years, and I plan on going every year for as long as I can still make it. Yes, it's cold on the North Shore in November, but if you have a love of history, beauty, and a need for an unexplainable sense of something unexplainable, the trip is well worth it!

A little side trail off the Split Rock Side Trail takes you through this fissure, which parallels the escarpment face.
The Cathedral of St. Domnius is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; Together they form the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century). The structure itself, built in AD 3 is within Diocletian's Palace.
Now that the fall colors are gone for the season, it's not quite at pretty as it could be but still nice to visit all the sites on the north shore of MN.
