Tall Ships

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.

Burning Water

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.

A Quick Walk on a Cold Pier

Cold temp and a cold wind off Lake Superior hastened my walk out on an icy pier to capture this image at the entrance to Agate Bay in Two Harbors, MN.

Stormy Weather

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

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.
