Columnar basalt, Grotto Point, Simpson Island, Lake Superior

I got to visit this incredible site with my sea kayak twice over the last two weeks. I wish I’d taken closer photos from the water, but on the first visit I was making time to a distant destination, and on the second pass a week later the water was too rough to get close to the really big and twisted piles of columns. Still, I was able to find enough shelter in Woodbine Harbour to get out and walk around on them!
