The icy shores of Lake Superior north of Duluth yield some fantastic opportunities for photography.  This was taken from down in a gully and going up at the time of year when the sunrise lined up with the cavity in the rocks.
If you haven't done this in the past, be sure and wear some type of traction over your boots, I prefer Yak-Trax as the shores are covered in snow and ice.

Beautiful early morning light bathing the icy rocks in that pastel pink blush!

A great representation of nature's battle between ice and sun!

A refreshing scene given the current heat.
Would have loved to have the near icicles to be a little crisper...

Nice composition, guiding the eye from the cool to the warm area.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Stunning and frigid looking all at once.
