Glow
This is another winter sunset from the shores of Lake Superior, featuring early winter ice sheets, and wet feet to get to the location this was taken from.
Beach Sunset
Sunsets during the winter take place surprisingly early at northerly latitudes. This was a few months ago at around 4:30 in the afternoon. The cold weather also tends to bring smaller flatter clouds, which gives the distinct cloud layers like this photo shows.
Twilight Overlook
This is a view from a few weeks ago on top of Ely’s Peak MN, looking East after sunset. This location becomes packed some times of year because of the large area that it overlooks, but also offers an old rail tunnel under the cliff, and access to some of the other hiking trails in the area.
Looking Forward
I’m looking forward to all the unique photo opportunities that winter brings over the next months, but I am also already looking forward to the amazing variety of colors that every spring brings, like this pulmonaria, with flowers that vary from bright pink to almost blue.
Faded Pansies
This photo is a bit unusual for me, because I edited it going for the sort of look you get in an old photo that has been left out in the sun too long.
Fall Glow
This is fall leaves along a hiking and bike path above the St Lewis River in Minnesota. This is a tone mapped HDR image that was taken hand held, which is why some of the edges are strangely colored, but it still conveys the amazing colors you get when hiking through forests in the fall.
Summer Visitor
This photo is from this summer during the evening visibility of comet NEOWISE. The comet is a long period comet that had not been previously recorded, and provided a surprisingly good show for several weeks.
Old Is New Again
This is a photo of the Smith Rapids Covered Bridge, which was built in 1991 using a 1920s truss pattern. It sits in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest across the South Fork of the Flambeau River.
Fresh
This is one of my favorite spring landscape photos, as it captures so much of the bright spring greens, as well as having a fun sky.
Sharp Focus
Spring always brings new flowers, in this case an unusually dark purple Hepatica with a bright yellow wasp to complement it’s color.
