Lake Superior

Our trip to Duluth to see the Bentleyville “Tour of Lights” also provided an opportunity to witness some beautiful and interesting scenes of the magnificent Lake Superior.

We walked the sandy trail to the shores of Lake Superior on Park Point.

We arrived on a bright and sunny day. Except for an small accumulation of snow -remnants of a recent snowfall- the shores of Lake Superior look like an ocean beach. There were no tropical temperatures though!

Moonrise over Lake Superior.

As the sun set, the skies remained clear so we could see the full moon rise and shine (however, the clear skies kept the temperatures below freezing!)

Morning light: 6:39 am the next morning.

The next morning a cloud bank appeared over the lake.

I went out on the balcony, which faced north, to take a few photos. As I leaned over the balcony and turned to the east, I saw the stunning sunrise and images over the lake.

Sunrise: 7:24 am

I’m not even sure how I captured this zoomed photo, but I like it.

I do so enjoy this lake! It’s very entertaining.

  1. What incredible joy you brought to my morning! It’s the display of God’s glory written in the skies and his daily creation! That photo of the lighthouse and sunrise connecting is really awesome! That silhouette of the ship in the fog needs to be displayed in Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center on Park Point! Seriously!

    1. Thanks Starr. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.
      That’s a fun thought about the Maritime Visitor Center. 😉

    2. What spectacular pictures you took of the sunrise on the North Shore! I agree with Starr that the one with the ship in the fog would be great to share in the Maritime Museum!

  2. I loved the sight of the sunrise and seeing a ship in rhe cannel. You guys have so much fun with your travels.
