It was announced recently that the Tall Ship Celebration would be returning to Duluth, MN this summer. Two years ago it had moved to another city along Lake Superior but, we are happy to have it back in our harbor in 2025. One ship that won’t be returning, that was part of the 2010 celebration, is the Bounty. She sank off the coast of North Carolina during Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012.

It may seem that the water is steaming, and it sort of is. When Lake Superior is warmer than the air above it, you get sea smoke. It was -5 F (-15 C) the morning I captured this image.

As long as there is sunshine, being by the lake is always good, even in cool weather.

One of the best parts of living by the inland sea of Lake Superior is the effect of wind on the lake. When the wind blows strong out of the east/northeast, you get big waves along the shore in Duluth, MN. Although the waves are exciting to watch, they can also be very destructive. The city is still repairing damage from storms that took place over five years ago.

After capturing the image for my post last week, I decided that for the month of May I wanted to focus on long exposure photography. I tend to neglect my ND filters and need to use them more often. For this week, I paid a visit to a beach on Lake Superior during a very windy day. This abstract image is the result of a 60 second exposure with a 10 stop ND filter at ISO 100, 45mm, f 11 with my Fujifilm GFX 100s.

It’s hard to believe that this was shot on Christmas Eve in Duluth, MN. It was raining and we had no snow on the ground. iPhone 13 ProMax.
Considering how this winter is shaping up for those of us in the northern hemisphere, I can’t help wondering if nature is giving us a big middle finger. Stay warm and keep those shovels handy. Oh, and Happy New Year!
