Tilting Duluth
Four images by Richard Koenig; taken August 20th 2024.
Duluth Entry
Was able to pop down to Duluth Entry while I was in town. Would have liked a large ship, but got to see the aerial lift bridge go up briefly at least (for a tourist vessel).

Historic Old Central High School
This impressive edifice stands near the center of Duluth, Minnesota. The Richardsonian Romanesque building opened in 1893. The clock tower still keeps time, chiming on the quarter hour. It's listed on the National Registry of Historic Places as one can see here.

Time Lapse
Another view from Duluth—nine years apart. The location is a spot near where East 6th Street and North 1st Avenue East intersect.
It's odd: a couple trees have been removed, which makes for a confusing time lapse as foliage usually grows in these time comparison diptychs. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken in September of 2015 (achromatic) and August of 2024 (color).
Last Day
On our final day in Duluth, we rose early to see the sun rise. Three images by Richard Koenig; taken August 22nd 2024.
Moon Rise
This view comes from Duluth, Minnesota. The massive clock tower is part of the Old Central High School in the middle of the Zenith City.

Ringo in Duluth
Years ago, when my wife had a job in the Duluth area, she would walk our beloved dog, Ringo, along the shore of Lake Superior.
Recently, we made a trek back to spread some of his ashes. It was bittersweet: we recalled a wonderful time in a wonderful place, but also the loss of our precious buddy.
When done spreading his remains, we sadly moved toward our car—but then noticed a wonderful butterfly had alighted nearby on the ground. I believed I knew the name of this species, and thought it significant, but looked it up to be sure. Yes, it was a mourning cloak.
Symbolic and comforting: once again, nature provides what we need.
I didn't get a nice shot of it, so I borrowed an image from the Wikipedia page on the wonderful creature. Five images by Richard Koenig with the last one being by Pavel Kirillov of Russia.
