Looking Up - Kadunce River

The Kadunce River is just outside of Grand Marais, Minnesota. The river runs through a canyon easily missed when visiting Grand Marais. The river runs into Lake Superior. In the summer it is a beautiful sight to walk up the river.

Robert Burns Blacksmith

I met Robert at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais, Minnesota. He was gracious to pose for an environmental portrait. I was grateful for Robert's patience; the hot steel he was holding, he said, was about 1600 degrees and very hot without gloves. The room shows his tools on the back wall and the portable oven to his right.

My Faithful Companion

Philis and Charlie live on a farm in Grand Marais. Philis owns and trained Norwegian Fjord horses for driving competitions. She was gracious to pose for a portrait with Charlie.

Smiling Cow

Who doesn't love a smiling cow and Holly here is showing off her smile! She was a young cow full of spunk and curiosity.

Australian Shepherd and Norweigan Fjord

Some dogs just enjoy working and Charlie here is one of those dogs!

Split Rock Lighthouse

Split Rock Lighthouse is on Lake Superior in Minnesota. This is the lake where the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald pushed across the lake with a cargo of iron ore. In blinding snow, and waves reaching 25-feet, Fitzgerald lost both radars and ultimately sank 17-miles from shore. All 29 crew members were lost. Every November 10th they light the lighthouse in Two Harbors, Minnesota to commemorate the event.
