The beauty of the North Shore never ceases to amaze me. I mean seriously. I am lucky to live so close to this? It’s a gift. One that I don’t get to appreciate as often as I should.

Today Jason & I journeyed up to a few of our intended locations for RILEY. It was a beautiful day and I must say - not a bad way to work.  We stopped at Palisade Head - which is just ridiculous. The Lake is so powerful…so infinite…so vast. Unbelievable. The rocks, the water, the wind….It’s just perfect.  We also are hoping to shoot at Silver Bay’s Safe Harbor which affords more incredible rocks, immediate access to crystal Lake Superior waters, orange lichen and big ol’ Taconite Harbor monstrosities (structures) across the way. We visited the mouth of the Split Rock River which showed us an ever changing beach, a new bike trail (the Gitchee Gamee Trail - check it out), 2 bald eagles, signature Superior rocks & more of that incredibly fresh clean water; and also Gooseberry Falls. Gooseberry was crawling with visitors today - everyone enjoying the 80+ degree weather (finally) and endless sunshine. The water was warm (!) and the views are of course stunning. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all of our chosen locations because really - they are unparalleled.
