Freedom Fest Fireworks

I made the 2 1/2 hour drive up to Duluth so that I could photograph their Fourth of July fireworks show, which was being advertised as the biggest fireworks display in the state. So, 2 1/2 hour drive there, 20 minutes of fireworks, 2 1/2 hour drive home. These better be some pretty good fireworks, right? Here are some of the photos I came away with. Clicking on each photo will give you a bigger view of that image.

The Destruction of the Great Blue Heron Rookery

There is an island rookery on the Mississippi river just a short walk from my house that is, ok... was home to over 200 Great Blue Herons. A tornado recently hit Minneapolis and the island rookery took a direct hit from the tornado. Most of the island was destroyed. All of the nests were destroyed. All of the eggs that had been laid were lost.

The next two photos will show how the island looked before the tornado, and how it looks now. You can click on either photo to see a full sized version of it.

The good news is the herons are adapting and rebuilding nests. I'm not sure how many of them will stay at this rookery, but these magnificent birds have already built nests about 2 miles south of the rookery, AND about 2 miles north of the rookery.

Lighting the Split Rock Lighthouse II

On October 1st of 2010, I made it back up to the Split Rock Lighthouse at a time when they would be lighting it again. I wish they would light it more often as I love photographing it. I was in a different spot this time than I was last time, and I tried a couple of new techniques while photographing it. Well, at least they are new techniques to me. You can click on either photo to see it in a larger size.

This first one, I took trying to capture both the lit up lighthouse, AND the stars in the sky. It's a breathtaking photo, but I hope I can improve on it's quality the next time.
