The Beauty of a Starry Night

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

Every time I get the chance to enjoy the dark skies of northern Minnesota, I think of those who have never been away from a light island and experienced the incredible sight of a sky full of stars. This image was captured on a night when I was hoping to see the aurora above Lake Superior. The aurora did not make an appearance but, the stars more than made up for its absence.

In Motion

Spring is springing, snow is melting and rain has been falling. All of which means, that water is in motion.

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.

Icy Morning on the Ledge Rock

It takes a bit of navigating to move about safely on the ice covered ledge rock of Lake Superior.

If It Looks Cold…

it’s because it was cold!


Cold

Recent frigid weather and wave action coats the shoreline rocks with a frosting like coating of ice.

So Quiet

It’s amazing how fresh snow acts like sound insulation in the forest. Not to mention it’s beautiful.

Icy Designs

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

On the morning I went out to shoot some photos of ice, I slipped on ice next to my truck as I was loading my camera bag. I landed on my stainless steel coffee mug, which hit me right around the left kidney. Ouch! I managed to make out and grab a few shots before going home to recover with an ice pack.
