Ellingson Island ( Split Rock Lighthouse State Park )
Two Harbors, Minnesota
Lake Superior can have its calm days where you would never believe that it can produce massive waves that would scare the bravest person to venture out in its power. On this summer evening, I was greeted to its more calm quiet nature. The nearby campground was booming and shockingly, Not a soul in sight of the shoreline. After taking a stroll along the far end near Ellingson Island, I saw this piece of drift wood that stood out to me.
I wanted to capture the calmness of this shoreline along with the warm summer tones showcasing this moment of calm away from the lighthouse itself. I admit that Ellingson Island can be overshadowed because of the lighthouse.
The driftwood composed as if it's taking a relaxing break before the waves eventually claim it back and transport it to a different section of the lake.
It's as if that nature itself was taking a break from the hard work that it displays in front of our eyes on an everyday basis. A much needed rest indeed.
