The North Woods of Wisconsin open up suddenly at the edge of Lake Superior, where wintertime storm waves have tossed large logs onto the beach. The reddish sand and cobbles come from the Precambrian Orienta sandstone, which may be the same as the Jacobsville sandstone farther east, and building stone for many a “brownstone” house across the Rust Belt and Northeast in the late 1800s to early 1900s. A hazy and nearly windless midsummer day softened the light and contrast, and calmed the big lake, rendering this peaceful scene.
