Thunder Bay's 50 million ton City Mascot is known as the Sleeping Giant, the panoramic Sibley Peninsula, a formation of mesas and sills that juts out on Lake Superior and forms the body of water that is Thunder Bay. When viewed from the City, this remarkable peninsula resembles a reclining giant. The Sleeping Giant figures on the City of Thunder Bay's coat of arms and flag.

The photos below of the Sleeping Giant and the photos of the lighthouse were taken from several different locations in Thunder Bay, different times of day, and different lighting situations.
