Bright water in the dark forest

Everyone we met in Minnesota advised us to visit this state park.* They obviously weren’t wrong.

*State park admission is free, which is really cool.

Waterfall and tourists

The trick about photographing this place is to be there when no one else is. That didn’t happen to me, as you can tell by that person perched up there by the waterfall posing for the other person up there.

Submerged in clear water

The water was clear. And cold. But mostly clear, since I didn’t get and the temperature really didn’t matter. (See? I made it all about me, which is sort of selfish, now that I think about it.)

Fishless and done for the day

This guy was done for the day, turning his back on the lake and on the fish who’d already ignored him for hours.

Catch of the Day

The Minnesotans where we stayed told us many times that the lake was unusually smooth, so I guess it was. But I guess these fishermen (fisherpersons?) were happy about it.

(Also, that skinny strip of land in the background is Wisconsin. I knew you were wondering.)
