Mother nature & The Lake Superior Gods did not decide to show off the amazingly vibrant colors they can be capable of on this overcast morning, so here is another shot I've been meaning to share.
In this shot, the Aerial Lift Bridge was lit up in the colors of the Duluth City Flag (picture of the flag, provided by Perplexity, included for visual reference).
-The elements of the design are pretty cool when you know what it all means.
👉The three Waves/White Lines represent the rolling hills of the city: Thompson Hill, Enger Hill, and Hawk's Ridge.
👉Colors: The green represents the hillside and north woods, while the two blues represent Lake Superior (dark blue on the bottom) and the sky (light blue on the top).
👉Gold Star: Symbolizes Polaris, the North Star, and honors the area's Native American (Anishinaabeg) and voyageur history.
This shot was taken at 6:41am on January 24th, 2026.
