For two decades, Jeff Rennicke traveled the globe as an award-winning travel writer and photographer seeking adventure in the exotic and far away.
It took staying put to show him that beauty and meaning can also be found in the familiar.
Using poetic explorations in the Apostle Islands aboard his boat the “Little Dipper,” Rennicke shares how the art of slowing down and looking closely can deepen our sense of place and our commitment to the landscapes we love.
