That was earlier this month? Just curious, but when do the trees fully leaf out there in the zenith city of the unsalted sea? Down here, things are fully green and leafy in the valleys by the beginning of the month, and on the mountaintops by the middle of the month.

Duluth looks really interesting.

And to scare you more: they start changing colour in late August or early September and are usually completely gone by Halloween. It's a very short season. Also, a lot of the trees in urban areas in both of our cities are ash, and they tend to be late bloomers to begin with, but they're also under stress from emerald ash borer. |
Duluth has always interested me. Great photos! Post more if you have some!

Duluth looks like an industrial city.
|
Nice job! A very photogenic city on the lake.

Thanks everyone. And yes, these were taken May 15 and 16, before I pushed on further north to Thunder Bay. Unfortunately Thunder Bay wasn't terribly photogenic, no offense to vid's hometown. The waterfalls along Route 61 on the Lake Superior shore were stunning though, I can post some of those here if people are interested.

If you've seen my photothreads of Thunder Bay (This is the most recent), it's obvious there isn't much beauty but there are interesting things. Thunder Bay is a much younger city than Duluth, and poorer. When the first skyscrapers were being built on Superior Avenue, Thunder Bay was a town of 1,500 with no railway. |
Nice pictures!

^ Yeah, being right against the great lakes, things tend to warm up more slowly...go inland a bit, and trees tend to leaf out in Madison a few weeks earlier.

Duluth is an interesting mix of rust belt grit and vacationland with a beautiful hilly setting overlooking Lake Superior. I always thought it to be the San Francisco of the Midwest--given its concentration of Victorian architecture, the steep hills, the famous bridge and the poorer sister city across the bay. |
Great shots!

Thunder Bay Beauty
I recall Thunder Bay as quite a beautiful city! The views of the "sleeping giant" profile is mesmerizing from various scenic spots within the city and times of day. Also Kakabeka Falls in an incredibly beautiful. Does anyone have photos of these sites?
|
The topography and the lake look interesting, but it doesn't look like there's much to the actual city/built environment.

very nice -- below is our duluth thread from a few years ago.
we stayed for a few days and really enjoyed ourselves there. we stayed in those apts next to the aerial bridge, highly recommended. it was in august and it hit over 100 degrees if you can believe it. we flipped a quarter on a trip to thunder bay or just superior, wisc. -- still kinda bummed it landed on superior lol, although a shout out to the great anchor bar over there. anyway, great work and good to see it again here. https://www.skyscraperpage.com/forum...d.php?t=218684 |
