A beautiful day in the Northland with 60 degree temps and calm winds made for a great day to fly and also wonderful day to throw a line in the water as I noticed hundreds of steelhead fishermen along the shore of Lake Superior.

Birds eye view of Walter J. McCarthy Jr.
While I was up flying today an a photography assignment, I was able to snap a few shots of the 1000 ft Walter J. McCarthy Jr as she pulled away from the Midwest Energy Dock with a load of coal and sailed out under the Duluth Lift Bridge.

I will always share the pics that I think you might be interested in; including, waterfalls, seascapes, lighthouses and aerials.
ReplyDeleteDennis-- Two questions:
ReplyDelete1. Why is the water in the ship canal so much darker than the lake water on either side of the canal?
2. What is the oval-shaped dark area just "above" the McCarthy in the first picture?

Lee, Spring runoff is just starting and the lake has a lot of silt in it right now and appears discolored. The bay is actually staring to discolor in the past few days. So, not unusual after heavy rains or spring runoff the the water is colored. It just happened that the bay has a different sediment right now.
ReplyDeleteThe black oval in the upper picture is Midwest Energy. They are a supplier of western coal to many industries around the Great Lakes. The oval is their massive coal pile.
Similar to the post from Sep 25, I pulled out a few files from this past winter and searched for some birds we could really use some extra info for:
