Description
I took this photo last year while on a road trip along the shores of Lake Superior. Perhaps most of you know the lake thanks to the popular 1976 song by singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, "The story of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Here is a link to the youtube video of that powerful & haunting song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99rOzMVtcx4
Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and is the world's third-largest freshwater lake by volume.
This photo was taken on a warm June evening with no evidence that the lake was capable of sinking such a gigantic ore carrier as the Edmund Fitzgerald - At one time the largest ship on the Great Lakes and holder of numerous tonnage records.
Thanks for dropping by. If you're not familiar with the song, please give it a listen - I'm sure you will be impressed.
Have yourself a great day!
