This shack served it's purpose many years ago, and now stands in silent watch over Lake Superior. It's working days are over, but, like an old grandpa, it represents an important heritage to those who pass by.
January 1 - Wolf Moon - January Full Moon behind Split Rock Lighthouse For the past 25 years, I have been trekking up the North Shore of Lake Superior to photograph the January full moon as it rises from behind the rock cliffs to silhouette the lighthouse. There are only a few winter nights during the year when this can happen. The moon never fails to come up at the same place and same time, year after year. As you stand there and watch this phenomenon occur, you cannot help but appreciate the universe as it rotates from days to months to seasons and years. The clockwork of the universe keeps ticking. Our heavenly Father not only created the heavens but, He also sustains them for His joy and our pleasure. Everything He does reveals His glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails. Psa 111:3 It is comforting to know that God, who created the heavens, is also the same God who has promised to keep us regardless of our situation.
After three days of freezing fog, the forests across the Northland became covered with rime ice. Rime ice forms when supercooled water liquid droplets freeze onto surfaces. The incredible beauty caught everyone's attention. God seems to gently "breathe" on the earth as it becomes covered with frost. When daylight breaks and the curtain of freezing clouds lift off the landscape, the wonder of God's creation reveals His Glory for our pleasure. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. Psalm 147:16 Thank you, Lord, for showing us your beauty, peace, and quiet in a world of confusion and chaos.
