During the blizzard here UP North last week, most of us left work early to get home before the weather made that impossible or some folks just never ventured out in the first place. Not Steve Brimm, he was out there capturing the storm in all its glory. These shots here today were taken near the Devil's Washtub and were near the tail end of the storm. They depict the fury and force that Lake Superior builds up with winds that are gusting to 50 knots and Steve was out there in the midst of it, making sure those of us tucked away warm and snug in our homes could witness it, through his eyes. Job well done, Mr. Brimm. Hope you've thawed out by now! ;->

The first image "Tail End of The Sorm" is simply awsesome !! Whereabouts is Devil's Washtub ? Out past Copper Harbor heading toward Schlatter's Lake, maybe ?

Wow...awesome is the word!

Superior with attitude! Love it!

These have to be some of the best I have ever seen on this site. Just fantastic.
Devil's Washtub is on M26 just befor copper harbor.
It used to have a marker sign but it was taken down years ago. It is on private property.

Cold but beautiful pictures, Steve. Glad you're UP there and not me.:-brrr


By Dunerat (Dunerat) on Monday, February 25, 2013 - 09:04 am:

Great photos, Steve. Thanks so much for sharing. The first image is unearthly.

Sigh--I am in absolute awe over the pics today. They are breathtakingly beautiful. I think i will retire my camera!

One of the things which struck me about the image is the blue cast of the water forming the wave. When we were up a few weeks ago, the ice in the bay near Baraga was that same blue, it almost looked like something had spilled in the water before it became solid.

beautiful

He got some great pictures of all that. It was so pretty out after the storm.

He is an artist!


By Thomas Baird (Thomas) on Monday, February 25, 2013 - 02:15 pm:

Beautiful scenes.

Hi
Osceola, sometimes the ice floes are that same kind of greenish blue. Someone gave the explanation once--I think it had to do with pressure. But I'm not sure why the water is that color.

The whole scene says cold colors, though.


By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Monday, February 25, 2013 - 06:31 pm:

It actually has to do with light and absorption. The absorption which gives water its "colour" is in the red end of the spectrum and since blue is the complementary colour of red, blue is what we see. This can also be seen in snow and ice as an intense blue colour scattered back from deep holes in fresh snow. Bluegreen hues are also scattered back when light deeply penetrates frozen waterfalls and glaciers or very cold water (near freezing).

Hope that helps....


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Monday, February 25, 2013 - 06:37 pm:

That's interesting, Capt., now explain the beautifully clear emerald green I used to see in Lake Michigan.


By Paul H. Meier (Paul) on Monday, February 25, 2013 - 07:04 pm:

The first two pictures really illustrate why the boats tie up during the Winter! Thanks for braving the storm and sharing the great photos.


By Donna (Donna) on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - 06:49 am:

WOW!


By Paul Roberts (Grizzlyadams) on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 04:32 am:
