Stormy Skies over Duluth...

As you read this, I am probably partying with my best buddies during our reunion weekend. (Read yesterday's post). I pre-scheduled this blogpost, because I knew I would be too busy to post today.

As I mentioned last week, we went to Duluth, Minnesota a few weeks ago to visit my husband's sister and husband and to attend a surprise birthday party for my cousin, Amy.

While there, we had the pleasure of going down to Canal Park.

This area is along the waterfront of Lake Superior and has a variety of nice restaurants and shops, in addition to some lighthouses and lift bridges.

The skies were perfect for photography: dark, stormy and moody...and then the sun came out to hightlight the historical landmarks and buildings. Who could ask for more?

So, here are some photos I hope you enjoy, which I took while we were in Duluth:

Here is a liftbridge for large boats....I thought the sky behind it was really nice!:

You can walk all the way out to this lighthouse on a nice cement walkway:

The dark, stormy sky beckoned me to take this photo!:

This one was taken from the lighthouse walkway, looking back at Duluth:

Look at how the sun lit up the lighthouse against the stormy skies!:




Yet another lighthouse!:

They have horse and buggy rides available at Canal Park to tour the area:

This one was taken at Hawk's Ridge, which overlooks north Duluth:

The storm was moving in closer. But, we never got the threatening downpour:

If you ever get the chance to visit Duluth, there is enough to keep you busy for the weekend. There is a wonderful rose garden, a railroad museum, mansions to tour, Canal Park and beautiful shores of Lake Superior. It is a smaller "big" town, easy to navigate.
