Winter > popular all-time > Frost Smoke; Grand Marais, Minnesota A view of the west breakwater on a very cold and windy morning.
Winter > popular all-time > Rocks in Lake Superior, 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.
Winter > popular all-time > Harbor Ice; Grand Marais, Minnesota A stiff southwest wind and its attendant waves broke up the harbor ice and pushed it towards shore. That made this shot easy. How cold was it? So cold that ducks froze to the beach the day before. I was told they were rescued with hot water and a chisel.
Winter > popular all-time > Tree in Ice, Cascade River State Park; Lutsen, Minnesota Like many North Shore rivers, ice often chokes the Cascade. Then water backs up and freezes. That's how this little tree ended up surrounded by ice. The golden-amber color in the water and ice comes from tannins.

Winter > popular all-time > Cut Face Creek; Cook County, Minnesota Most of the year, Cut Face Creek doesn't have a lot of flow. During spring runoff and after a big thunderstorm, however, it can turn into a torrent. Those rare times of heavy flow expose these sandstone cut banks. Sandstone is a rare thing along the North Shore of Lake Superior where nearly all the rock is volcanic with basalt and rhyolite very common. In fact, the sandstone here is made of old rhyolite grains. You can find fossil ripple marks on loose stones. They come from beaches that vanished over a billion years ago.
