> Winter Storm Clouds; Grand Marais, Minnesota

This image was taken inside the inner harbor looking across to the old Coast Guard Station. The first snowflakes of the coming storm were falling.

Late autumn winds covered everything along the shore line of Wabigoon Lake in a thick coat of ice.

 > Hovland Dock; Hovland, Minnesota

I love Hovland because it's the only North Shore community not blighted by condos and other kinds of development. You can still get a hint of what the North Shore was like in the old days. This is the town dock. Before Highway 61 was built in the 1920's, every community of any size on the North Shore had a dock like this for the package steamers and fish tugs to moor. This is the only one I know of that's still in reasonable shape. Most of the rest are gone or reduced to a few ruined rock and wood cribs. The foundations in the foreground once supported a small warehouse.
