High Cliffs above the Inland Sea

from $34.00

When you stand on the edge of Palisade Head in Tettegouche State Park, you quickly realize that the word "lake" doesn't quite do justice to what you’re looking at. Stretching out toward the horizon, Lake Superior looks and acts like a true inland sea. There is no far shore in sight, only a deep, endless blue that feels as vast as any ocean I’ve ever stood beside.

Getting close to the edge was a dizzying experience. The cliffs here drop straight down into the water, and as I approached the rim, I could feel the wind rising up from the sea below. It blew back at us with a steady force, almost like a natural caution or a warning to respect the drop. It is a powerful, humbling sensation to feel that much air moving against you while looking down at the waves crashing against the base of the rock hundreds of feet below. It’s the kind of landscape that catches people off guard because it isn't what most would expect to find in the middle of Minnesota. It feels rugged, ancient, and slightly dangerous.

This photograph is perfect for those who have spent time wandering the North Shore and have felt that specific magic for themselves. If you grew up in the region or have made the pilgrimage up Highway 61, you know that this stretch of coast stays with you long after you leave. This piece would be a standout in a home gallery dedicated to the Great Lakes or for someone who wants to capture the more dramatic side of the Midwest. It’s meant for the person who wants a reminder of that wind on their face and the sheer scale of the North Shore brought into their daily life.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
