Split Rock Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

Split Rock Lighthouse

            Here’s the first installment of a self-assigned odyssey that’s going to light up my Flickr photostream. We spent a week at the hottest camping spot on the North Shore, Shipwreck Creek Campground at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in Minnesota. These shots will take you on a wild ride through the south side of the North Shore, hitting Taconite Harbor, Tettegouche State Park, Palisade Head, Gooseberry Falls State Park, and a bungled attempt to capture an abandoned Air Force radar base near Finland. And of course, the legendary Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. The North-North Shore trip is already on the drawing board, so expect more madness in the coming months.

The first shot is the iconic Split Rock Lighthouse. It’s a classic money shot that everyone tries, but few nail with the finesse it deserves. Here’s hoping I did it justice.
