A February sunrise forms a sun pillar behind the Grand Marais Lighthouse. Sun pillars are beams of light extending from the sun or other bright light sources under the right atmospheric conditions. Ice crystals in the upper atmosphere catch the light and refract it into a beam. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things. Isaiah 45:7 Each day is a gift. Take time to enjoy it today!
The setting moon slowly descends on the snow-covered shores of Lake Superior. It is a good feeling to see open water after a long winter. Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. Proverbs 25:25 Hope comes in many forms, and a quiet February landscape assures of warming days ahead.
Gleaming in the afternoon sun, stacks of sheet ice decorate the shore of Lake Superior. Late February is prime time for ice photography along the North Shore. Having the glory of God, its radiance like a rarest jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:11 God's creation is everywhere you look, and every day of the year presents His new handiwork.
