OUR COVER STORY

Sunlight dappling Lake Superior’s surface. The glimpse from a rocky shoreline of underwater structure and the stubborn life forms it supports. Light trailing outward to a pumpkin moon rising off the horizon. Featured photographer Roxanne Kjarum has spent her life studying the big lake’s many moods and faces. Her portfolio begins on page 26.
