Featured Image Number 4 for 2010

“Tettegouche Fog”

In 1898, the Alger-Smith Lumber Company began cutting the virgin pine forests of northeastern Minnesota.  The company established a logging camp on the shore of Lake Superior, and named it Tettegouche.

The loggers moved on, and stewardship of the area passed through several private hands before the State of Minnesota established Tettegouche as a state park in 1979.

The 9000+ acres of Tettegouche State Park include a mile of Lake Superior shoreline, with some of the best rock climbing areas in the state.

This secluded cove sits below the body of the Park, and features a rocky beach and this sea arch in the spit of land jutting into Lake Superior.

I’ve often  photographed this site, and I love how the feel of the cove changes completely with the weather.  On this cool, foggy June morning, the sun could not burn off the heavy clouds, and Shovel Point in the background was a mysterious form in the grey.

Featured Images

Every six weeks or so, I'll post a Featured Image here. These are images that I feel merit special attention, and that I want to put under a spotlight for a limited period of time.

The Featured Image is available in all four print sizes, at a discount of 20% from the usual prices for those sizes, and that discount is only available for the six week period. The usual series print limits apply: if there are prints available after the six weeks, they will be at regular prices.
