Duluth. Guides canoe trips in the Boundary Waters and fixes canoes the rest of the year. Lake Superior is an ocean, fight me.
Ore boat coming in under the lift bridge at sunset. Long-short horn, answered, and the whole canal waving.

Fog on the water, a cow moose and her calf on the far shore. Didn't breathe for five minutes.

Fireworks over the harbor. Four ships blew their horns at the end.

Ice fishing with my dad. Twenty-two inches of ice, zero walleye, one thermos. Perfect day.

Deep, narrow, loud. Elk grazing in town on the walk back.

Walked on a glacier that's shrinking every year. The markers for where it reached in 1908 are a long walk back.

Rented a canoe on my holiday. Glacier at the far end. Felt like work, but prettier.

First shuttle up — no private cars anymore. That blue isn't edited. I checked with my own eyes twice.
