The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'gitche gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy.

I have been fascinated by the tales of Lake Superior for years since I first heard the Gordon Lightfoot song about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. So we visited the pictured rocks and took a boat trip on the lake. I do have to add I would NEVER take a boat trip on Lake Superior in November.
Thank you for your visit I hope you enjoyed it. :-)
I have spent many hours over the years searching the rocky shores of Lake Superior for the elusive agate.
To celebrate being together for 21 years (and going vegan 15 years ago!) we drove to Upper Michigan for the day. After picking up some vegan pasties, we visited Presque Isle Park in Marquette and enjoyed a perfect picnic looking out at Lake Superior. It was a delicious lunch with quite the grand view!
The Tele Top is just off the old harbor in Nuuk and offers fantastic 360 degrees view to Nuuk and the surroundings.
This is the view to the north with majestic Sermitsiaq in the background.

The small town of Superior, AZ is about 60 miles east of Phoenix. It was founded early in the last century as a result of huge nearby mining operations. Mining has reduced and the town has struggled as a result. These church buildings have changed hands a number of times.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
BNSF's Grand Rapids local sits built in the Superior, WI yard awaiting a crew to take it to Grand Rapids. After a morning on the CN Iron Range, we made our way down to Superior around 1400 in hopes of catching the local departing. After this drone flight confirmed the 1832 was leading, we sat at the south end of the yard and waited for them to depart. By 1530 we decided to hop over to CN to shoot a train on the Oliver Bridge, and just after that departed we heard BNSF 1832 tone up the dispatcher for clearance out of the yard, perfect timing.
No, the title is not a reference to the quality of the ice, rather, that's where the ice is. This image is from a recent trip to the Great Lakes, specifically, Lake Superior. I know what you might be thinking, no, this is NOT the Apostle Island National Seashore, 'those' ice caves are not open this year. This is from his very little brother (very) on the eastern shoe, specifically on the Chequamegon Bay, near Washburn. These caves, if you can call them caves, are not the same as those on the west side. Any icicles here are not the result of violent waves, but onshore creeks and streams flowing into the bay. We were very lucky to get about 2 hours of sunshine on the whole trip to Wisconsin, and we happened to be walking on the water (ice) when it happened.
My wife and I have never walked on a frozen lake before, not like this. Kind of freaky. You can hear the ice creaking and cracking as you walk, and sometimes your footprints slowly fill with water.
Let me know what you think.

My final posting from our quick trip "Up North" last weekend.
It was a moody mix of sunshine, wind and clouds most of the day, but enjoyed the challenge of it!
Never a dull moment on the big lake!
"Happy Easter to all my flickr friends and cousins! :)

At the crack of dawn, the night turns to day on the windy shores of Lake Superior; a colorful sky ensues. After a hectic and sleepless night, this was a nice sign of things to come, I suppose.

En Whitefish Point, ruta de las aves migratorias. Este día de la foto, había un viento muy fuerte, como se ve en las olas del lago. Me encontré con otros fotógrafos, que también estaban haciendo checklists para eBird, locales que conocían la zona y comentaron que el fuerte viento en la dirección que tenía en este momento favorecía a las Aves para volar en su recorrido migratorio.

I found a new sunrise location on Lake Superior, but it took some unexpected effort. It is about a .75 mile trail with a decent amount of steps, but nothing that difficult. As I was hiking something a bit unexpected happened, my legs started to cramp up, but not a little bit, but a lot. They were in so much pain that I eventually had to stop walking altogether until the pain subsided enough to move on. All that being said, I am very thankful that I did not get hurt and that God was gracious to me by allowing me to complete the hike and witness a very beautiful sunrise! I am still learning my limits as a disabled photographer, but I am so thankful for the grace of God in my life and His strength that is perfected in my weakness!
