Minnesota Maples

Description —  This photograph was taken in Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota, near the Ash River Visitor Center.  The photo was taken in late September 2006.

Camera Nerd Info —  Linhof Super Technika V 4×5 view camera, Fujinon-W 180mm f/5.6 lens, Fuji Provia 100F film, exposure 1/4s @ f/22.  The image is cropped.

Commentary — By late September much of the fall foliage was past its prime in northern Minnesota, but these young trees still had their color.

On a map of Rainy Lake to the west I saw a dotted line going across the lake from the American to the Canadian side.  When I asked about this I was told that in the winter this route was plowed off and became a state highway.
