Lake Superior horizon at Grand Marais

from flickr user clint mcmahon
I am always impressed by the photographers who traverse Minnesota's north shore of Lake Superior. During the winter months, its beauty is rugged, cold and sometimes downright mean with stiff winds blowing off the expansive lake but this photo depicts a calm winter day with a picture perfect partly cloudy sky and a smooth blanket of fresh-looking snow nicely framed by two smaller trees. The horizon, though, is what seals the deal for me.

If this photo caught your eye, check out the MinnPics Store to purchase equally amazing and beautiful photo prints in varying sizes - they make great gifts for any occasion.
