Duluth - Canal Park On Ricoh GRIIIx
Were heading up north last weekend and stopped in Duluth to get out of the car and walk around the canal/harbor for a little bit. We got there just in time to see the largest ship on the Great Lakes pass under the lift bridge into the harbor. I didn't get any photos of the ship, unfortunately; I was parking the car and dropped my wife and kiddo off so they could cat…

#MilkyWay
#LakeSuperior“There’s something pretty fitting about photographing the night sky from a spot where lightning struck the rock long ago. And on this night, it felt like everything was lining up just right—the textured rock in the foreground, Lake Superior stretching out toward the horizon, the distant lights along the North Shore, and the Milky Way rising overhead.” - Hayes Scriven

Lake Superior gave me one last perfect scene before I head home to Virginia tomorrow. The Marquette shoreline, the clear water, and those magnificent clouds — I’m going to miss views like this.

Former Great Lakes fleetmates; apparently,
I missed the party on the Irvin last night here in Duluth as the John G. Munson arrived yesterday with limestone while museum ship William A. Irvin prepared to host a Thursday evening music concert on its deck, 6 August, 2026. Photo by David Schauer, who had to have his drone operating. Or actually had someone else get this one for him.

This evening’s view is a wee bit different than my usual from on deck; Lake Superior from the patio behind the Canal Park Lodge in Duluth, 6 August, 2026. And me without bourbon but I do have some pretty good hotel coffee so I have that going for me.

Also at the Duluth canal park to steal my thunder was photog David Schauer, one of those guys who has the ability to and literally does hang out to get some really good shots; the Walter J. McCarthy arrived to load ore at Canadian National and close behind was the John G. Munson to fuel before unloading limestone, 6 August, 2026. Photo by David Schauer.

I have been wanting to get back up to Duluth for awhile and damn if today wasn’t the day; early evening back-to-back arrivals of the American Steamship Company’s “footer” (1,000 foot) Walter J. McCarthy and the Great Lakes Fleet’s John G. Munson, 6 August, 2026. Photos by … yours truly. I think the camera in my smartphone phone did alright but I sure wish the Nikon wasn’t waiting on parts. I think I’ll skip the 0400 arrival of the James L. Oberstar.😜

#IndigenousGardens in #Ontario
" #Indigenous gardens and other special places are designed for people to gather, learn, heal, reflect and celebrate the diverse and rich #FirstNations, #Inuit and #Métis cultures.
"From the banks of the St. Marys River in #SaultSainteMarie and #LakeSuperior in #ThunderBay to downtown #Toronto, learn about the important role of Indigenous gardens in honouring #IndigenousCulture and knowledge in Ontario.
"Traditional plants, including the four sacred medicines — #sage, #tobacco, #cedar and #sweetgrass — are often integral to Indigenous gardens.
- Sage is often used in smudging, where the smoke is washed over participants to cleanse away negative energy.
- Cedar is a protective medicine that can be used as cedar tea, cedar baths or hung in the home to guard against bad elements.
- Sweetgrass is a kindness medicine. It reminds us to be good to others, the world and ourselves.
- Tobacco is a relationship medicine offered to start things: before a harvest, before a hunt, before asking for assistance from an Elder or to start the day. It opens up communication and ushers in good energy."Learn more about Indigenous gardens in Ontario and their significance. This is a short list of the many Indigenous gardens across the province. Please respect these Indigenous spaces, as not all gardens are open to the public."

With some vacation time coming up next week, think I’ll check the shipping schedules for Duluth and maybe, finally get up there and do my Otis Redding thing; the Walter J.
