Big Splashes!

If you live anywhere near Lake Superior,

every November

your thoughts turn

to the horror of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

So many men lost their lives during this

awful shipwreck accident...

and

our November's are notorious for high winds

and freezing temps.

The deaths those men experienced must have been unbearable.

Right around this anniversary,

I was out with my camera

when the lake had high, high winds.

That always makes for dramatic photos of the lake and its tall whitecaps....

Here are some waves crashing on shore:

And, definite evidence

of an approaching Lake Superior storm:

Waves crashing against the breakwater to the lighthouse:

A black and white of the rolling whitecaps:

There is this little log home on a point by the lighthouse

that I have always loved:

And the waves were crashing right in his front yard!:

I hope you have a calmer day

than 

this...

and that your December Christmas shopping 

isn't full of gale winds and stress!!
