Lake Superior is big. Standing on Sugarloaf, you see 27 miles to the horizon. If Sugarloaf was the height of Everest, you'd see 207 miles to the horizon. Meaning there is no place on 🌎 tall enough to see the entire 350 mile length of Mother Superior.

Sunrise 1,451. Happy Winter Solstice! I try to avoid the word perfect, but after 13 days of not seeing the sun at sunrise, there couldn’t have been a more fitting solstice sunrise. The -15° windchill resulting in the water vapor was the chef’s kiss.

Sunrise 1,106. Here’s a cold take. I think too often we approach nature as “It’s beautiful out, I think I’ll go for a walk” avoiding the inclement weather when we could be like “I think I’ll go for a walk, and see what beauty I find”.

Sunrise 1,546. I’ve been sad and unmotivated by this winter’s lack of ice. The first winter in five years of sunrising where I’ve been able to see open water to the horizon every single morning. What’s typically a long thaw along Superior is going this year.
