About this work

An early morning January photograph of the Split Rock Lighthouse, located near Two Harbors, Minnesota, on the shores of Lake Superior. The image captures the historic lighthouse perched atop a steep cliff, bathed in the soft pastel hues of dawn. The lighthouse and adjacent keeper’s house are silhouetted against the vibrant sky, with the surrounding rocks and snow accentuating the structure's isolation. Wisps of sea smoke rise from the frigid waters of Lake Superior, adding a mystical quality to the serene scene. The image reflects the tranquil beauty of this iconic landmark during the winter months.
