Yesterday I had to drive to Duluth and I had plenty of time so I decided to drive the backroads on the way down and look at fall colors. While the colors inland from Lake Superior are overall past their peak, there is still plenty of beauty to be found. For this photo I purposely shot a slow shutter speed to blur the movement of the trees as I drove down the road. I had my tripod set up on the passenger side of the car and used a remote trigger to take photos as I was driving. For those that are curious, this was a 1/3 second exposure.
I sure do love autumn. The forest is filled with such brilliant color right now. It's like being in a fantasy land!
The moonlight last night sure was beautiful! I went for a walk up to High Falls at Grand Portage State Park to see if there would be a moonbow. Earlier this week we got several inches of rain which brought the water level in the river up about 4 feet. When high water level coincides with full moonlight you can usually see a rainbow at night, often referred to as a moonbow.
As I walked up the trail the light from the moon was so bright I didn't even need to use my headlamp, even when I was beneath the forest canopy. When I got my first glimpse of the falls I could easily see that there was indeed a rainbow visible at the base of the waterfall! Such a cool and unique thing to see. The wonders of this world are endless!
Autumn ECR. Beautiful ride under the forest canopy this evening.
A glorious, sunny autumn day in the maple forest of northeast Minnesota.
Early morning light washes over my two favorite lakes: Speckled Trout Lake and Swamp Lake in Grand Portage, MN. It sure was a beautiful weekend, I hope you all were able to get out and enjoy it!
There's a lot of fall color out there.... get out and see it before it's gone!
