Emerging from Early Morning Fog | Show Me Nature Photography

Today’s post features a well-known landscape along Minnesota’s North Shore … the Split Rock Lighthouse.

While touring the North Shore area a few years ago, I was able to photograph the lighthouse at sunrise. After a few minutes of shooting, the view got much more interesting as fog slowly rose along the cliff walls and began to cover the lighthouse:
