The following pictures were taken in Seattle, Washington between July 17 and 20 of 2010. The city’s prevalence of locally grown and organic produce makes Minneapolis seem like a corporatist stronghold.
More photo details and commentary will be added later.
These photos were taken in the spring of 2010 while the water was high in the Long meadow Lake Unit of the Minnesota River Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
These photographs were taken on a hike to the top of Angels’ Landing in Zion Nation Park on May 12, 2009.
On January 17, 2010 Evan Finnes and Peter Beacom hiked off trail into the Superior National Forest to investigate the rock formations around Tonic Lake.
The purpose of our visit was for Evan to investigate the origins of the rather circular depression surrounding the lake. I provided the 4×4 vehicle and Evan provided the fuel. Evan also brought a new pair of snow shoes and I did not. It was interesting to see the difference the snow shoes made. Evan was able to move through marshy lowlands twice as fast as me in my boots.
Tonic Lake lies north of Tomahawk Road and south of the Bounary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We drove north from Tomahawk road on a forest service road that recently had only seen use by snowmobiles. We parked along a fork in the road south of the lake and continued in on foot. We spent about three hours hiking up and down ridges, photographing rocks, and traversing a frozen marshland, until we eventually reached Tonic Lake.
