Canadian Twilight

During the summer months on the Canadian border it never really gets completely dark as with these pictures that were taken at 11:30PM.

Looking north across Gunflint Lake, the Canadian shoreline meets the starry night in a soft glow of steel blue. It's been an hour since the frogs stopped their serenade, but, the eerie call of distant loon still echos off the granite rock walls.
Staring into the heavens and letting your eyes adjust to the light, the Milky Way becomes visible.

All a display of God's glory, and an assurance of his immensity.







He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. Psa 147:5
