Tuesday,
September 20, 2016: Sunrise
over lake Superior at Grand Marais, Minnesota. An orange glow from the sun
lit up the shoreline.
|
 |
Yes, lots of people get up early just to see and photograph
the sunrise.
|
 |
Beachcomber Paula was down by the water looking for agates and
sea glass. No
stone goes unturned when she is around.
|
 |
Then the sun shown brightly over
the water for everyone to admire.
|
 |
Even kayakers were out plying the water that morning.
|
 |
Grand Marais is a bird's paradise at the water's edge.
They love the place.
|
 |
Paula decided to go out to Artist's
Point where artists hold an annual competition to see who can create the
most interesting painting of the scene.
|
 |
Lake superior is on lava rock from a million years ago.
Rock is broken up every year by rain and ice. A channel was
created this way.
Leave it to Photobug Paula to find just the right camera angle on this
one.
|
 |
Another view from Artist's Point
looking back at the breakwater lighthouse.
|
 |
Yes, evidence that people have been here leaving designs
on the rock. Fun to see the results of creative minds.
|
 |
Speaking of creative minds, who came
up the this place? Definitely an out-of-the-box thinker!
|
 |
Mark and Paula did not see any moose
while there, but did enjoy driving around to see the scenery.
|
 |
You can't hardly look in any direction without seeing
photographers enjoying their hobby.
|
 |
The harbor lit up as sunset
approached.
|
 |
 |
Then it was time to look for dinner.
The Angry Trout
was their choice that night.
My
Sister's Place is also highly rated and approved by the Dynamic Duo.
|
 |
The chef at the Angry Trout is proud of his work.
Rightfully so.
|
 |
The big menu item at most Grand Marais restaurants is
whitefish from Lake Superior. A very good choice even if you are
trying to loose weight.
|
 |
Boats were in and anchored for the
day. Then the sky glowed after sunset to show its approval.
|
Grand Marais is a resting spot. Mark
