Random Acts of Photography Volume I

Wisconsin Point February 2023
Driftwood from perhaps the other side of Lake Superior forms a nice leading line for this photo. And actually the tracks on the left form sort of a sub-leading line. Gazillions of photos are taken of the old lighthouse every year (and I have many of those), but I like to wander along the beach to see what might make an interesting photo.
The West
This wonderful old theater was restored and had its grand opening in June of 2019. Situated along Central Avenue in the Spirit Valley area of Duluth, it is historically accurate in its art deco, 1930's renovation and it brings a bit of the old downtown nostalgia to the area. Here is a link that gives more details of this marvelous old theater: https://www.thebarkumd.com/community-1/2021/4/27/the-historic-restoration-of-the-west-theatre
