It was a bit below zero Fahrenheit when I took this one. A stiff southwest wind was pushing frost smoke off Lake Superior into Agate Bay (Two Harbors). The Speer's bridge is probably fifty to sixty feet above the water.

Gooseberry Falls State Park may be the most visited park on the North Shore. The Gooseberry River drops over four falls before reaching Lake Superior. The falls may look frozen, but there's water flowing beneath all that ice.

The fierce northwest wind was kicking up whitecaps on the Grand Marais harbor. it also pushed all the ice to the southeast part of the harbor where it piled up by the old Coast Guard station.
