Aside from getting paid to do what I love (that is, take photographs and travel), one of the coolest parts of my 9-5 job is getting to go places and see things that very few people get to see.  How many of y’all have been on a 1,000 foot coal-carrying ship?  Thought so.

Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin sit across the bay from each other.  Both are mariner towns – catering in many ways to the sailors that come into dock for a few hours or a few days.  Superior is decidedly less urban, less touristy.
