An Upcoming Display at Split Rock Lighthouse, A Few Recent Photos and a Selection of 2024 Photo Calendars

Summer seems to be flying by and the nights are already getting cooler here on the North Shore. I thought it was time for an update and some links to my 2024 calendar selections. I have a photo display coming up for the entire month of September at Split Rock Lighthouse Historical Site, and I’ll tell you about that and the dates and times I’ll be on hand to chat. I’ve got a few recent photos I’ll sprinkle in as well!

This year I am offering three different, Minnesota – North Shore themed calendars. One will feature photos of Minnesota’s largest mammal, the moose. These often elusive creatures are magnificent to observe and photograph, and I hope you’ll enjoy these photos I’ve selected. Some are from Superior National Forest, The Temperance River, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from a canoe, and more locations in our North Shore forests. Follow this link for the 2024 Moose Of Minnesota’s North Shore Woods Calendar. These are all 8.5×11 inch calendars when closed, twice that when open. Previews available at the link.

The second calendar I’d like to share is a Minnesota, North Shore variety calendar. 12 months and 12 photos from the northland. I’ve included wildlife, Lake Superior, northern lights, State Parks and more. I think it’s a nice mix of what one may encounter on a visit to the North Shore, if you’re lucky! As is true with all three calendars, there is a preview option at the link. You can see all the pictures, front and back covers, and the layout of the days. Please take a look at the 2024 Minnesota’s North Shore – The Woods, Waters and Wilds calendar. I’ll always put out this variety calendar. It’s a fun one.

The third calendar is probably my favorite. I decided to make one with ALL images of the amazing aurora borealis. These photos are from the shores of Lake Superior to the woods of Superior National Forest and the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The aurora is one of my favorite subjects to photograph and it’s fun to share some images in this 12 month, 4 season photo calendar. Again, you can preview all of the calendars at the links to see the page layouts and photos. Here is the link to Minnesota Aurora Borealis – The Northern Lights on Northern Nights 2024 Calendar.

Here’s a selection of photos from the calendars…

Upcoming in September, I’ll have a photo display at the Split Rock Lighthouse Historic Site . I’ll have a selection of photos printed on metal of various Minnesota scenes. I’ve mainly focused on Moose, Canada Lynx, Lake Superior and the Northern Lights. I’ll have a few more mixed in as well. The historic site and lighthouse are pretty amazing and worth the visit. The featured exhibit this season is a replica of the fresnel lens used at the lighthouse. The setting on Lake Superior is tough to beat, and the setting for my photo display is pretty sweet, with a nice view of the lighthouse. I’ll be on hand to chat about moose, Lake Superior, the northern lights, and maybe I’ll give you a tip on how to find a moose! I’ll be on hand on Saturday the 2nd of September, Saturday the 16th, Saturday the 23rd, and Saturday the 30th from 11 until 2. I may pop in on other weekend days as well and I’ll update on Facebook and Instagram. I hope to see some of you there! September is truly the best time on the North Shore, in my opinion.

Thank you for taking a look at the calendar options this year, I always appreciate the support. They’ll make great Christmas and birthday gifts, and it never hurts to shop early for either! Hope to see you at Split Rock Lighthouse in September, and I hope you don’t let summer get away from you!
