St. Croix River, north of Stillwater, Minnesota, October, 2004

 
This is very early in the morning as the first rays of the autumn sun light up the area known as the "boom site." During the height of the logging era cut logs floating on there way to the saw mills in Stillwater got jammed up here. Workers used explosives to get the logs moving again and the name "boom site" stuck.
