What A Day

As it was too gorgeous to stay inside for my lunch break, I took a walk down to Lake Place Park on the Duluth Waterfront. Lake Place Park is #28 on this map of the Downtown Duluth and Canal Park area. Click here for more information about the creation of Lake Place Park.
Nice to have this so close to work as to escape and rejuvinate as well as soak in some Vitamin D.

G'head, take ya shoes off, go barefoot, stick yer toes in the water...ahhhh, August.

Sure makes it hard to go back to the office.

Looking North - The Lakewalk, Lake Superior Scenic Railroad Tracks run along side and go up the North Shore to Two Harbors. You can kinda see the Mosaic Wall to the left. Near that grove of trees the Vietnam and Korean War Memorials are located.
East View - Beach Area - This is also where the polar plunge occurs in January
Refer to my Icehole Post.
Beach, Lakewalk, Ship Canal and Aerial Lift Bridge - Waterfront
I took several shots, and liked each for different reasons.
