The Basilica of Saint Mary. Downtown Minneapolis.

I find this location–as beautiful as it is–very difficult to photograph. I guess because there are so many different elements within any composition, and the fact that I never seem to be there at just the right time with my camera to make best use of the light. I will however keep going back and trying to capture this magical location at a magical time!

Two years ago we woke up to a completely frozen landscape. It didn't last long before the suns rays melted all the ice of the trees and returned it to what can be considered normal at wintertime around these parts. I have so many pictures from that morning and every time I look through that folder I find something new.

The many faces of Split Rock ... Minnesota's most photographed spot!
I have posted a few pictures of this location before, but I just like the dark and moody feel to this one, achieved with the light and the clouds.

I carry all this gear around with me when I travel, but rarely get to use it. This was taken early one morning when i did. It's at the far west end of the island, far away from the tourist areas, but just as beautiful.
