> Looking East from Oberg Mountain; Cook County, Minnesota

The ridges above Lake Superior in Cook County are known as the Sawtooth Mountains. Mountain is a misnomer, but there are some wonderful views.
 > Gooseberry Falls in Early Winter, Gooseberry Falls State Park, near Castle Danger, Minnesota

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.
 > Waves on Sugarloaf Point; Cook County, Minnesota
 > Ravine on the Shore, Temperance River State Park; Schroeder, Minnesota

A snowstorm is coming and the sun grows dim through the thickening clouds. For a little while, the light takes on a silvery tone that I love.
 > Rime Ice on White Cedar, Cascade River State Park; Lutsen, Minnesota

Mist from falls on the Cascade River forms rime ice on everything it touches. I thought this little branch was especially pretty.
 > Breakwater in Frost Smoke with Walker; Two Harbors, Minnesota

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). I saw this fellow walking on the frosty breakwater. He looked so very small.
 > The McFarland Pines; Cook County, Minnesota

These trees are part of a stand of old growth red and white pines along the Arrowhead Trail, north of Hovland.
