OUR COVER STORY

Photographer Paul Sundberg waited until midsummer to record his image of fireweed flowering in front of one of the most photographed lighthouses on Lake Superior. Split Rock Light on Minnesota's north shore has been a "most visited" lake destination for decades. More bloomin' photos begin on page 23.
