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. :-)

  

Here is the sequel to my prior picture Frozen in time. You can see the old boat in the left of the frame.

 

There is an old pier that goes out into the lake where I could get this vantage point.

L'isola dei Pescatori, conosciuta anche come Superiore (in dialetto locale Isola di Pescador), è l'unica dell'arcipelago delle Borromee nel Lago Maggiore (comune di Stresa) ad essere stabilmente abitata.

 

Larga 100 metri per 350 di lunghezza, ospita un piccolo borgo, dalle caratteristiche case a più piani (con lunghi balconi per essiccare il pesce), con una piazzetta, caratteristici vicoli stretti, il lungolago e la via principale per permettere gli spostamenti rigorosamente a piedi dei 57 abitanti che vivono di pesca e turismo.

 

Abitata da almeno 700 anni l'isola dispone di una parrocchia dedicata a san Vittore e un belvedere alberato dal lato opposto.

 

D'estate gode di una grande affluenza di visitatori che passeggiano nei vicoli e comprano oggetti di artigianato locale nel piccolo e caratteristico mercatino. Famosa a Ferragosto è la processione della statua del santo protettore dell'arcipelago su una barca intorno alle isole, circondata da numerosi natanti di turisti e di abitanti della zona

The colors were a subdued pastel and very relaxing to look at.

Last light put on quite the show on Lake Superior tonight. Here it is, finally sinking slowly below the horizon. It just didn't want to give up on such a great day. Goodnight, Superior!

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.

Sunset on the shores of Lake Superior just SW of Eagle Harbor. We did a little rock hounding along the waters edge and then the sunset kicked in. Once it got darker we even had a short Northern Lights display.

 

Oh....what a night

UP 1337 and 1132 head back to Itasca yard with 40 cars. In less than two miles they will tie up for the weekend, YIT61 is the only regular train to catch on this branch line on weekdays.

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.

What a peaceful time, sitting by the shore on a rock waiting for the sun to come up.

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!
