Sunrise Over the Ice Planet

The instant of sunrise this morning looking out over Lake Superior.  I was late to my Cardiac Rehab appointment, but they understood! Beauty should always be stopped and appreciated.

As I stated in my earlier post today about Fall Colors, it’s a nasty day here in the Northland. However, just like I found great photo opportunities, the surfers LOVE today’s strong winds out of the Northeast. Cue the Beach Boys music.

Lake Superior Sunrise!

40 minutes before sunrise while enjoying a morning read in front of the fireplace, I realized the light starting to appear through the pine trees heralded a beautiful sunrise. I quickly threw on some warm clothes and drove down to the Lake Superior shoreline near my house. The big lake did not disappoint!
