Some winter views of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. If the image looks cold, it was cold. I think there's a lot of beauty in deep winter and, hopefully, I've shared some of that. Cold as it was, it gets a lot colder in a lot of other places. One just dresses for the conditions and gets on with it. Toe warmers and a couple of hand warmers per mitten help a lot. The only real problems were frosting up the viewfinder and keeping the battery warm. For what it might be worth to anybody, dropping the battery into a mitten between shots helps keep it warm. Using two batteries, and alternating them, would work better. Just make sure you're wearing some thin polypropylene gloves, too. They really help when mittens are too awkward.
The Atlantic Huron Passing Under the Aerial Lift Bridge; Duluth, Minnesota
I had just arrived in Duluth and I saw that the Lift Bridge was raised. So I made a dash to the Ship Canal and Canal park and arrived just in time for the Huron. She departed later that evening and was the last ship down-bound for the 2008 shipping season. During tourist time, the pier wall would be packed several people deep for a ship. In January, at 15 degrees Fahrenheit and falling, the place was almost deserted.
The Atlantic Huron was launched in 1983 and is 736 feet 6 inches long. She has seen service on salt water and the Great Lakes. For more information:http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/atlantichuron.htm
