Reflections of Pictured Rocks

2015-12-28 By Roger Edwards

Reflections of Pictured Rocks

Combine spectacular sandstone cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, late afternoon summer sunlight shining right onto their faces, and unusually placid waters of Lake Superior, and this is the result.  Even in the tranquility of this moment, the deadly bitter cold and pounding ferocity of wintertime’s worst weather—the sort of “gales of November” that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald not far east of here—wasn’t lost on me.  Unlike that fateful day, Kitchi Gumi wasn’t hungry for either iron-ore or passenger vessels to devour; instead, I caught the giant snoozing in an afternoon nap.  This most expansive body of freshwater in the world is a place of wild beauty and wilder contrasts, and well worth the effort to explore.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
