Title: Lutsen Mountains
Post by: Anirban Halder on October 09, 2016, 16:32:09: During autumn I try to visit Lutsen Mountains in northern Minnesota, part of the Superior Highlands on the north shore of Lake Superior. Great spot for family vacation. Here are the reasons why:

1. Quiet, beautiful lakeside cabins.

You know which image is my favorite, however, the intelligently seen BMW split trees reflection, and the lovely reflections of Lake Superior and silhouettes are gorgeous.

Btw, the lake in#2 is not Lake Superior. It is one of the thousand lakes in that region.

7. Lakehouse

That's very true Anthony. In the very same neighborhood I came across this car. ::)

The link to #5 "Unsharp moments" doesn't work...

Pity we miss us by 8 days.

Post by: Anthony on October 11, 2016, 09:56:31: Bjorn 3, like it!

But the Norwegian heritage seems to have failed to preserve the "ø"!

Yes Frank. It's unfortunate that we will miss each other by a week. :( Hope you have a great time over at CA.
