Walk with me, 2: Lake Superior

After leaving the Emergency Room yesterday, we went for a walk down to the lake. My trio wanted to skate again, with their booted feet this time, ha!

So, right in front of the hospital is a wave bench and a ship shaped bike rack. Lame pun intended. :)

Another interesting church, Duluth has a lot of old architecture from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

On the way down the hill we happened to see some leaves imprinted into the concrete. I was only able to take two pictures, my trio had better things to do than wait around for a pokey mama.

Every time we cross the freeway to Canal Park we are greeted by this stack. The building reminds me of old 80's movies. Batman probably fought the Joker here.

The Irvin is a ship permanently docked. They have tours in the warmer months and do a haunted ship during Halloween. :)

Lake Superior is a #moodybitch. I love her and her every mood so, so much. Sometimes she's calm and serene, sometimes she's as fierce as the sea. The building there was built and used as a shipping yard. Most of it has been swallowed by #gitcheegami.

The waves from Superior reach over a hundred feet from the shoreline. We get massive storms in the months with the fewest tourists, coincidentally. When she's in her finest tantrum throwing moods.

The entire shore is covered in ice.

These are love locks. Teenagers and tourists love writing their initials and names on a lock, and then attaching them to the wooden decor around here. It's supposed to signify that their love will last forever. At first it was just kind of annoying, but it's grown on me.

And of course, the Canal Park Lighthouse and Fog Horn, one on each side of the canal. That line of darkness on the horizon is Wisconsin. I'm told the cheese people live there.

Thanks for checking out a bit of our world!
