Breaking into the Light - AmericanSpirit
While a rather common scene in Duluth, the big boats on big water is still eye catching delight. The American Spirit pushed out of the Duluth Shipping canal. (from the files)

Bentleyville Kaleidoscope
The lights at the Bentleyville "Tour of Lights 2014" are a phenomenal scene to behold, but, this view is one you might miss when you visit.
Here is the view looking straight up inside the towering 128ft high Christmas tree, covered with more then 100,000 LED lights.
If you would like to jump into the tree and take a look around for yourself - CLICK HERE

Sunset Ice Fishing on the Duluth-Superior Harbor
If you look on the Harborcam during the day, way down the bay, you will see a bunch of small black dots on the ice. This is the flock of Ice Fishermen that love to hit the ice as soon as it freezes up.
I stopped by at sunset to take a quick look from above with my little photocopter.
Lost Horizon - Full Moon
The full moon made slipped through the Lake Superior Horizon to set it's glow on the ocean freighter Mamry as the big ship waited at anchor off the Duluth Piers.

Alert! - Full Moon Rise at 17:00 - 5PM tonight
FYI,
The full moon should present a stunning display over the harbor this evening as it rises to the east and tracks across the sky. I'll be down taking a few pictures here and there.

Harborcam Replacement Funding --- Success!!! Thank you, Thank You
What can I say but thanks. Three days ago I let this community of duluthharborcam viewers the need to upgrade the Harborcam camera due to age and lack of streaming ability. Over the next three days we raised the $1270 needed. Just stunning and humbling.
Over the past several years, I realized that these cameras have become windows to the Duluth waterfront for more then just myself. I get great satisfaction out of helping provide a way to view the waterfront "live" via internet, that has only been possible to do in the past several years. When I see comments, or get emails from viewers who will never be able to stand in Canal Park or the Duluth hillside and watch boats, weather, people and wildlife, then I understand that these cameras have become something very important to others, not just myself. Providing this service to others has become more rewarding than I ever could have imagined.
I am a native Duluthian and as a photographer I photograph harbor and lakeshore scenes often, especially Canal Park. When asked why I keep returning and photographing the same location time and time again, my only reply is that it's different each time, GOD mixes a different element of each day.
I'm sure many of duluthharborcam viewers feel the same way, I don't know if this is an addictions, but if it is, I'm hooked. Hooked on the views, but, most of all hooked on knowing that together, we can make a better day for hundreds of people at a time, as they enjoy the sights and sounds of one of the most beautiful locations on the planet.
I will continue to save the coffee fund money for the next project.
Thanks again,
Den
