Shot on 8mm film in 1969, this vintage home movie captures a wide, overcast view of a flooded lake in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The water level is high, submerging docks and parts of the shoreline, with bare trees visible in the foreground. The grainy, slightly faded color palette and film border frame evoke a nostalgic, archival feel. The camera pans slowly across the scene, revealing distant buildings and industrial structures along the far bank under a cloudy sky.
