On the Way to Grand Marais

[yourlibrarian]

There are a bunch of rivers leading out to Lake Superior. This one made a pretty view.





A last shot from Gooseberry Falls which I forgot to put in the last post, a view down to the lower falls and river leading out to the lake which is seen in the first pic.



Some shots from Palisade Head, a clifftop view of the lake.

And the camera is capturing it accurately (which isn't always the case with colors). It was stunning to look at.

Holy cow, that is a big - and very lovely - lake.

Largest lake in the world by surface area.

I remember when, years ago, one of the friends I took the trip with saw the lake view in Chicago. She had grown up in and always lived in California and loved the ocean. She was amazed to realize one couldn't see the end of the lake, that it was like a sea. One can look at maps but the distortion can affect how we judge size. Seeing was believing!

Beautiful shots!

Thanks! Got to say the landscape made it easy 🙂

It’s really amazing! I grew up in Canada (I live in Germany now) but in Alberta and I only saw Lake Ontario out of the Great Lakes.

So pretty!

It really was. I was so thankful that the day we did this drive the weather had cleared up and it couldn't be a more perfect day.

What a lovely area. I'd like to hike there.

[yourlibrarian]

There are many parks and hiking areas along that stretch!

[pensnest]

What glorious pictures - thank you for sharing.

[yourlibrarian]

I was so excited to take these when I saw the views.

[birdylion]

That looks amazing. I want to sit there for hours and watch and let the landscape seep into my mind.

I could have spent much longer than we did, which was less than 15 minutes. We still had a good drive ahead of us and with the shorter days we wanted to be able to take in the views on the way back as well.

Wow! Gorgeous photos of gorgeous views!!

[yourlibrarian]

It was just so crisp and clear that day, glad to share!

Just beautiful, thanks for sharing. We are having a horrible inversion layer and it is nice to see some clear sky! :)

Oh I can imagine. Here lately we've been getting very little sun for the past week.
