Nice! I'm in the western burbs of Minneapolis but I love the North Shore of Lake Superior. And to bring this full circle, I lived in Maryland for a dozen years in the until '96.
When we moved to Maryland and then went back to Lake Vermillion in the summer, we would drive up Wisc thru Duluth and I love the Mesabi range and the huge ships awaiting a load of ore. Gichigami -Gichi-gumme to us natives!

Can't resist reposting this image after seeing a 36 x 24 inch (90 x 60 cm) print of it at a place I'm staying right now. I must say that the print is more engaging than the image on my monitor, particularly the falloff of the highlights and the specular highlights, as well as the blacks in the lower right corner. The print was made on an Epson printer from an Imacon Precision III scan.
Note: One might wonder why SS is 1/500 at ISO 6400 in the first cafe image. I was shooting 6400 in the dark street, and rather than menu adjust the ISO, I just dial adjusted the SS for the exposure diff, and went back to 1/60 for the street, rather than going into the menu twice.
I reckon I could have stopped the lens down, instead, but for those with the "curious mind", that's my story ... and I'm stickin' to it.
