FEATURES
By the Shores “Throne of Ice” by Michael DeWitt
Days after a freezing December gale walloped the Apostle Islands, my friend and I broke ice and got a boat launched. The ensuing 20+ mile ride out to Devil’s Island was chilly, but exhilarating. The reward: Ice sculptures that defied imagination and left us awestruck. Note: This is not a trek for anyone unprepared.
Gems in Stereoscope by Jack Deo
Take a time-traveling journey through the story about and images of B.F. Childs in the 1880s alongside our digital views of today.
Poetry in Pictures by Jan Bell
Images can become photo poems, reduced, like poetry, to views of the elemental aspects of our Big Lake’s beauty.
