Cliffs overlooking Lake Superior

The weather beaten cliffs of Palisades, Lake Superior, Duluth, MN

Palisades, quite popular with rock climbers is also my favorite spot in Duluth. 400 feet of sheer rock braving the icy cold winds blowing over Lake Superior. In the middle of May 2004, when I took this picture, the temperature was a balmy 25 Farenheit. The cliffs were keeping a lone vigil over the lake. There were no rock climbers, kayakers or picnickers to disturb the serenity.
