Lighthouses, Waves, and a Full Moon

The sound of breaking waves, twilight in the sky, and a harvest moon made for a particularly beautiful evening on the shores of Lake Superior tonight.

 The moon rose from the horizon at its appointed time just as the final light of day faded into the big lake.

The HMS Bounty visited Duluth in 2010 as part of the Tall Ships Festival. These images are presented as a small tribute to the ship and the two crew members that were lost in Hurricane Sandy.

AnneO has left a new comment on your post "HMS Bounty lost off N.C. coast": 
Eternal Father, Strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
---"The Navy Hymn" (lyrics 1860 by Rev. William Whiting; set to music in 1861 by Rev. John B. Dykes)
