“The day before this image was taken, people were walking on the ice very near this area. But yet another 40+ degree day changed all of that. It was a beautiful, sunny day. And those BLUES … such pure blues! And just 2 days after this, a huge snowstorm came rushing by, once again changing the whole scene.” - Nicholas Narog

“I was hoping to capture a sunrise off Lake Superior, but the dense fog made me change my plans. I decided to head up the hill and get above the fog line. As the sun came out, it lit the top of the fog up like it was on fire! It was absolutely gorgeous. It wasn’t the shot I’d planned on, but sometimes the unplanned shots turn out even better.” - Nicholas Narog

Late afternoon arrival in Duluth of the Alpena, 21 September, 2025. Photo by Alison Gimpel. I thought about heading for Duluth today and sure wish I had; Alpena was scheduled for a 4 p.m. arrival and like a dumbass, I didn’t check the schedule until early afternoon and it’s a three hour trip from my place. Derp. I’ll get a weekend up there and give the Nikon a workout before shipping season’s over.

“Happy National Lighthouse Day!
Here’s a shot of one of my favorites. North Pier Lighthouse in Duluth, Minnesota. Standing tall where Lake Superior meets the canal, she’s a symbol of strength, guidance and Great Lakes history.” - photographer Jon Columbus
