         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Sunday, March 1, 2015:  Mark and Paula visited Superior, Wisconsin.  They found a bronze statue of a sailor handling a heavy ship line.  Nearby was a 30 foot tall artwork of ice.
 
The Aerial Bridge is a favorite stopping spot for Mark at Duluth.  He enjoys the marine museum there too.  This is the "headwaters of the Great Lakes."  
 
Mark remembers from his childhood when he could have been a sailor.  Instead, he was a U.S. Army soldier and then a radio broadcast engineer.
A retired U.S. Coast Guard tugboat is on display...looking out longingly at Lake Superior.
 
Fishermen were in abundance that day on the ice north and east of Duluth. 
 
Paula was out photographing ice heaves.  They are often almost as clear as glass.
 
The weather was very good that day with almost unlimited visibility.  Temperature was in the low 20s.
 
The ice yielded to open water along the north shore of Lake Superior.
 
Just 16 days until St. Patrick's Day.
Quote of the day:    Always fun to visit the north shore.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
