Getting up on our second day, we heard weather forecasts of nasty winter weather arriving, so, even though the view out the window would have been good to look at all day long, we decided to go on a small road trip to see the local scenery. But first I had to see if my camera could also see the nice things we were seeing…!
Try to find the previous photo in the next one – I love the little camera’s zoom and steady image capabilities.
All the time we were aware that the coast here has five elements that make for nice photography: water, ice, snow, clouds/sky and the rocks.
Every scene we saw invited us to take a few photographs each, so believe me, we took many more than just the select few you see here.
Not all the scenic stops were open, but there were enough for our leisurely drive.
At Grand Marais we stopped at Artist’s Point and it was soon clear why this spot was so called. Every direction you looked, the scenery was spectacular (except for the lady that decided the sun was so nice and warm, picked a ice-free spot and lay flat on her back where she could have ended up as the foreground in quite a few photographs).
It was hard to believe they were predicting foul weather in 24 hours’ time!
