I may not have spent my entire visit gawking at the bridge going up and down, but I spent half a day photographing it, its surroundings, and passing ships. Local tourist cruises provide views of both Lake Superior and the Saint Louis Bay, causing the bridge to "lift" when the tours traverse the bay's inlet. The bridge is lit at night and at sunrise/sunset on mostly clear days; the amber glow of the sun provides many photo opportunities.

- Duluth, Minnesota - Bob Dylan's Boyhood Home
The Zimmerman family lived on the top floor of this undistinguished house until Bob was six. Now a private home, but on Bob's 75th birthday in 2016, a small, round plaque was embedded in the front sidewalk; it has Dylan's face and the words, "In Bob We Trust."
