St. Paul, MN Photos

Duluth Harbor - Lake Superior

We usually go up to lake Superior in mid to late September.  it is still tourist season but there are fewer people and the days are shorter to it is easier to get those sunrise and sunset shots.  I ended up getting wet taking  this shot.  I had tried to get it from a couple of other places but every time I composed a shot a small child in brightly colored clothing would pop up and end up in the shot.  So I got close and I think the discoloration in the photo occurred when the spray hit the lens.

I will get back to St. Paul but I need to linger awhile longer on the shores of lake Superior.   I take a lot of photos when I am up there because I need them to get through the winter.  I have one of those electronic picture frames on the wall by my desk and sometimes I turn it on and watch the lake.  This photo was taken in Two Harbors MN near the light house.

Lake Superior at Two Harbors

Two Harbors Light House

This light house has been shot so many times that I think it has faded.  I couldn’t resist taking a few shots but I decided to try a new angle.  It is a working light house by that I mean the light is lit.  It is now a B&B and I have stayed there.  I give it five stars.

Rocks

Taken near Two harbors Minnesota on the shore of lake Superior.  We went up there for a few days for a little R & R and there isn’t anything more relaxing than watching water.

Artists Point Lake Superior Grand Marais MN

I took this a few years ago at artist’s point on the north shore of lake superior near Grand Marais, MN.  I must have taken in in the summer of 08. I love this place. I will be spending some time up there is a couple of weeks.  Mentally I am already packing.

Boat and Bridge, Duluth Harbor, MN

The boat wasn’t moving very fast, the shutter speed was very slow.  Most of the time a moving object in a slow shutter speed type shot mucks things up but this one came out alright, which is a good thing becasue the sunrise that followed was kind of a non-event.
