Hovland Dock
Hovland, Minnesota
There's such a charm on the summer days on the North Shore of Minnesota. The summers can be very lively with tourist and many locals alike outside and enjoying themselves with the natural landscapes and seascapes.
This old dock isn't recommended to walk on since it's on its last legs (quite literally) but it stands strong over the years. I've passed by here many times and told myself that I have to stop here one of these days.
On this day, I wanted to explore around here a bit more and I felt urged to stop here finally with the morning in a dense haze. Outside of combating with the mosquitos, I managed to find a good position to create a minimal style capture this old dock. Since I was under the hazy skies, I needed to find some kind of foreground leading to this old structure.
The shallow water displaying the nearby rock underneath made for a good foreground leading up to this dock in the haze. This to me, was a very unique mood for this known gem.
