Fire and Ice

For a few minutes this morning, the rising sun cast an incredible crimson glow across the harbor ice.
These images were captured by the GLA cam atop the Great Lakes Aquarium.

Notice that the Algomarine backed out of the canal at 18:00 rather then try and turn 360 degrees in the icy harbor. -- cool

Last Saltie of the year arrives

The arrival of the last Saltie of the year is always a downer of sorts.  The Orsula, arrived late last night and signals the soon end of another great shipping season. The Orsula will depart later in the day on Tuesday in a rush to beat the freeze up of the lakes.
