Keyhole Arch

This is allegedly, according to guide lore, one of the most photographed arches not only in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, but also in national parks everywhere. This was a day off, and even though I was guiding sea kayaking trips every day here that summer I decided to come back and explore on my own.

Sand and Sunset

Sunsets over what's left of the Sand Island Dock. The dock was destroyed in Nor'easter, a testament to the wild power of Lake Superior.
