Photo of the Week: Grand Marais

If you had to guess where this photo was taken, what would be your first choice; Florida, California...perhaps a coastal village of the eastern U.S. or Canada?  This photo was taken on the coast....of Lake Superior in the little town of Grand Marais.

Harbor of Grand Marais, Minnesota
Grand Marais is tucked between the coast of Lake Superior and the rugged hills and bluffs of northern Minnesota.  Tourists from every state and dozens of countries flock to Grand Marais during Minnesota's short summer to take in the beauty of Lake Superior, truly the greatest of the great lakes.  Lake Superior has more water than the other four great lakes combined (with two lake Erie's to spare).
