Ah, new snow for Christmas! Ah, getting snowed out of my Christmas Eve plans. Ah, well. It was a glorious snowshoe hike this morning. This was taken at Crosby Farm Park.

Tim Voss > The Beaver House at Night; Grand Marais, Minnesota

The Beaver House in Grand Marais is the funkiest bait and tackle shop I've ever been in. All manner of handmade lures, tanks of minnows, shelves of  blue glass and a giant walleye pike are only a few of the things found inside and out. There's a back-lot full of ice machines, too. I didn't know if they worked. At five above zero Fahrenheit, it hardly mattered.
Tim Voss > Mesabi Miner Unloading Coal; Taconite Harbor, Minnesota

The Mesabi Miner is another of the 1004 foot lake boats. She was built in 1977 and christened in Duluth, Minnesota. You can see a bit of her self-unloading boom swung to the starboard side to discharge coal for the power plant. For more info on the Mesabi Miner, have a look at: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/mesabi.htm

Nobody lives at Taconite Harbor anymore. It was once a taconite loading facility with a small company town. The loading facility shut down many years ago. Nowadays, it serves as a coal fired power plant.

Tim Voss > Cascade River Winter; Cook County, Minnesota

The Cascade plunges over several waterfalls on its way to Lake Superior. The resulting gorge is narrow, very shady, and prone to rime ice on cold days. This image was taken in December 2008. It was very cold and the waterfall changed on a daily basis as ice was added or melted away.

Tim Voss > December Sunset; Grand Marais, Minnesota

I found this in a "dusty corner" while cleaning up old files. It dates from December 2007. I wasn't able to use it then, but my evolving interests and much better software gave it another chance.
