My wife and I were sitting on Highway 61, NE Minnesota's Lake Superior North Shore Scenic Drive, appreciating the beautiful fall colors and waiting for construction to subside.  I pulled out my point-and-shoot to snap a series of photos of the trees along the side of the roadway, part of the Finland State Forest just south of Schroeder, MN.  It was kind of a misty, overcast day.  I just loved the twisting shape of this birch, the repeated shape of the second birch in the background, and the contrast of their white bark against the brilliant reds and golds.
