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

Northern Lights - Moonrise at Split Rock Lighthouse
Only a couple nights a year can you see the full moon rise from behind Split Rock Lighthouse.
This afternoon I ventured up the shore to watch this amazing event with a couple other fellow photographers.
Like clockwork, the moon rose from behind the cliff to display itself above the lighthouse like a big orange ball.
Split Rock is a true gem of Lake Superior and one I never get tired of photographing.

Camera Update - Harborcam
Well, the streaming idea for the Harborcam didn't work out too well. The camera is an older model and not really equipped to stream.
I have switched it back to snapshot mode and hope to replace the camera soon.

Response to "Coffee Fund" donations
To all of my friends who have donated to the coffee/camera fund this year - a big thanks you. Watching the big boats, people, weather, and other activity on the harbor cams has become rather addicting to myself as well as others. While I started duluthharborcam.com to be able to watch the boats myself, I now get much more pleasure knowing that there are more then 400 people watching live each time one of the massive hulks makes its way through the canal.
This site is not a chore, but a gift and my hope is to keep providing memories and reflections of when you were here or will be here. The technology involved to do the streaming cameras didn't even exist 5 years ago, so, we are fortunate indeed.
There are lot's of folks that make this possible, including the Great Lakes Aquarium, Pier B, Army Corps of Engineers and everyone else who helps out. While this is not a money making venture, the payoff is great and I look forward to more upgrades and improvements as time and finances permit.
December is a great boat watching month - Enjoy!

Camera Updates!
Summary of changes to camera configurations.
The Bridgecam has been upgraded to live streaming and is now showing Bentleyville. This camera will remain in place with this view Bayfront Park.
The Harborcam is now upgraded to live streaming, however, it is an older camera and will be replaced when I save up the $2000 it cost to change it out.
So, all six cameras are now streaming live! I have wanted this for a long time hope to keep them all running through the winter.
Please let me know if and when you see errors or have other request, these cameras are as much yours as they are mine, and I consider myself the maintenance guy for duluthharborcam.com and hope to provide the best view of the best place on earth.
Enjoy the views!

Snowflake Photography
Today happened to be a perfect day to photograph snowflakes through a microscope. With 15F and no wind, the little crystals were easy prey for a snowflake hunter.
