As I usually do, I shot pictures of the Hjordis rounding the breakwall and coming back into the harbor the other day. I miss the red sails, but the dark purple has a sinister quality that I like, too. The ship looms like a pirate ship to me now. I shot this picture while sipping a latte at the Java Moose. I love the playful posture of the tourists (moreso in other pictures I shot at the time, where someone was swinging from the base of the lighthouse), the angle of the sail compared to the angle of the lower lighthouse steps. The Hjordis and the the lighthouse are Grand Marais icons. I never tire of looking at them.
