I couldn’t resist the pull of a foggy morning—so I took a quick walk around Lake Hiawatha. The quiet paths, drifting mist, and fog-framed details made everything feel a little more magical. Here are a few moments I captured along the way.

Sunday Sunrise Club at Cass Gilbert Memorial Park delivered a skyline light show—Capitol, Cathedral, and clouds aglow.
Quick stop at Nina’s Coffee, where the Frank P. Blair Building caught the morning light just right.

"Hours Beneath a G4 Sky"
On 11/11/2025, a G4-class geomagnetic storm lit up Minnesota with vivid reds, greens, and pulsing coronas. I spent hours beneath that electric sky, capturing timelapses and stills as the aurora danced overhead

Crex Meadows in October: thousands of Sandhill Cranes, swans, bald eagles, and a fleeting kingfisher. Loved the silhouettes of cranes flying over the sunset.

50 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath Superior.
Split Rock Lighthouse shines in remembrance.

🍁 Fog wrapped the lake like a whispered story. Golden leaves, quiet paths, and reflections that felt like memory. Lake Harriet, Minneapolis—fall in soft focus.
✨ What kind of autumn morning speaks to you—crisp clarity or fog-drenched mystery?

🍂 Ford Bridge was glowing this morning.
Caught rowers gliding through reflections so rich it looked like they were paddling through fire-colored glass.
Framed a few shots through the railing—structure meeting serenity.

Bear & Bean Lake Overlook, October’s quiet blaze
A few images from last week’s hike—fall foliage in full voice, and a final frame built from cloud stacking to show the sunset’s motion. Time layered into light.

"Where the Forest Breathes in Gold"
Waited all day for the clouds to roll in, hiked the last miles over granite and grit, then watched autumn catch the treetops and the lake in a single quiet blaze. Worth every step.

First visit to the Bakken Museum, captured with the Sunday Sunrise Club before the city woke.
Koi drifted beneath Tudor gables as the museum marked 50 years of invention. I’ll be back to explore inside soon.

"We Remained as the Sky Wandered"
I took this image years ago by capturing a frame with my friends standing on the pier and then captured a timelapse of the stars. I revisited this with the idea of creating a timelapse with my friends staying static and the sky swirling with the stars. #nightsky
