Canal Park is a cool place!

Fire and Ice!

December Sunrises are stunning displays of God's creations.  What better time view it then below zero on the shores of Lake Superior.

I thought I would try a quick snapshot with my IPhone from the Lakewalk.

Safe Shelter - Whitefish Point

Many of the large boats on Lake Superior are now hiding out from the frigid arctic blast on the east side of the lake near Whitefish Point to shelter from the strong west winds.

Pier B Yurt Timelapse 2016



How to build a Yurt in 2 minutes!
Pier B Resort constructed a Yurt over the weekend while the Pier B harborcam recorded a timelapse of the three day process.

Cold Weather Beauty

With cold weather settling in for the week, there should be some great views of ice covered boats, sea smoke rising and incredible sunrises.  With air temperatures barely rising above zero deg F this week, the winter beauty of Lake Superior will be on full display.

Hopefully we don't get any cameras shutting down for cold weather protection, but, it is possible.


Happy boat watching.

New! Site Comments! Testimony

I am always appreciative when viewers let me know how they use the cameras and what being able to view the Duluth Harbor mean to them.

Knowing how other "Camera Watchers" use and appreciate the cams is the main reason I operate the website and it helps knowing the location and reasons why they like to visit Duluth -- in a virtual way!

You can click on the comments tab above, or CLICK HERE to let us know your story.

Thanks,

Thank You! Camera stream funding reached for 2017!

Thanks to all of you boat watchers who helped raise the funds for the camera streams to flow next year.

I never cease to be amazed by the generosity of folks who watch these cameras.  I am so glad I can do this job and bring a window into the north land for those from far and near.

Enjoy the View!

Morning Minute -- Lighthouses and Sunrise - 09/12/2016



The hour just prior to sunrise is a special time of day. A time to reflect on the universal clockwork of the universe that God spun into existence from nothing.



Packing to hour into 60 seconds and then watching it unfold is kinda like time travel.

Camera Operation Today!

FYI,

I will be down at the harbor all day and will not have access to the camera controls.  I hope everything runs OK, but, there has already been 15,000 viewers, which may affect operation.

I apologize in advance if something breaks, and I will do my best to keep thing running through the weekend.

I will also post images from my cell phone.

Happy boat watching,
