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.
