A drive on the North Shore

I was driving downhill toward Lake Superior on the North Shore of Minnesota, in June 2026. The trees were bright green on both sides of the road, and that first strip of blue lake showed up at the bottom of the hill under a clear sky. It was mid afternoon, around 61, with a breeze around 10 miles an hour.

I took this through the windshield as the road dropped toward the water. The day before I had been at the red sandstone cliffs in Bayfield County, on the Wisconsin side of the lake, and a few days later I was on the trail to Eagle Mountain, Minnesota's high point.
