The big lake has a Superior sunrise

OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY -- One of my best college friends lives in Duluth, Minn., on the shore of Lake Superior. 

His back yard is a premium spot for outdoor scenics ranging from ice formations in the minus 30 degree winters to this moody, wonderful sunrise shot last week.

This morning was one of the more spectacular skies I've seen in awhile.  What you can't see is the lightning storm to the north of me over the city.  I was seeing it a an angle so i had wonderful views of an incredible electric storm, with this gorgeous sunrise in front of me.  The photo does not do it justice.
