Aerial Lift Bridge πΊπΈDuluth, United States
Ore boat coming in under the lift bridge at sunset. Long-short horn, answered, and the whole canal waving.

Five stories of stone on the hill. The harbor, both bridges, and Wisconsin across the water.

Park Point Beach πΊπΈDuluth, United States
Lake Superior at 58Β°F is refreshing, and by refreshing I mean painful.

Maligne Canyon π¨π¦Jasper, Canada
Deep, narrow, loud. Elk grazing in town on the walk back.
-
Athabasca Glacier π¨π¦Jasper National Park, Canada
Walked on a glacier that's shrinking every year. The markers for where it reached in 1908 are a long walk back.
-
Lake Louise π¨π¦Canada
Rented a canoe on my holiday. Glacier at the far end. Felt like work, but prettier.

Moraine Lake π¨π¦Lake Louise, Canada
First shuttle up β no private cars anymore. That blue isn't edited. I checked with my own eyes twice.
