My son and I timed our trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior at just the right time last year. I was worried we might be a little late for fall colors since I couldn’t get there until mid-October, but there was plenty to be found. In fact, this beautiful scene was right across from our hotel in Silver Bay, Minnesota. These bright red and orange trees caught our eye every time we came and went. Finally, one morning we pulled in behind the county maintenance buildings and shot from the parking lot. It was early morning and the sunlight seemed to make the trees glow. This is a large panoramic image stitched together from nine separate shots.
