Description
I hiked back to the shipwreck (seen in my 'Dawn and a Derelict' photo) again. ... hiking the snow drifts on Lake Superior in the dim twilight was tough going but absolutely beautiful!When I arrived at the place shortly before the sun rose, this old 15-foot-high shipyard remnant was the first item on my shoot list.. it's sentinel-like stance felt to me like it had defied time and decay in order to guard over the shipwreck 100 feet behind it.
when the sun rose it was obscured by a cloud bank on the horizon and I was initially disappointed.. but then lifted higher igniting some rather spectacular clouds with a firey highlight.

If you'd like, please have a gander at my mini-gallery devoted to Winter on Lake Superior

Lovely, as usual.
I love the whole idea of man-made-object-lost-in-the-larger-world -- that's why I love to shoot run-down industrial areas and ruined buildings. I see you are often drawn to the same things.

Beautiful photo, as always. ...Though this is just a tiny bit too small. I feel like I'm missing out on some detail that really would have added to this.

oh well ... what screen resolution do you use? ... alot of folks are still at 1024x768 .. so I've resized my whole gallery to fit that size screen without scrolling

That's what I use.
Hmm... All the same, beautiful photo.

well you don't like to scroll to view the picture do you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm more interested in image clarity than convenience of viewing. It's not like scrolling is such tremendous effort.
But I fear I'm beginning to sound rude, and I honestly don't mean to be.

no .. it's a good point.. and I don't take offence easily.. I personally feel that scrolling doesn't allow my eye to find the composition flow. And I'm not being defensive old friend.. It's a conversation

Oh my, where abouts is this, this would be worth the road trip. I was doing some back country skiing in the U.P. this weekend, no snow shoes made wading through the waist high snow such a drag, well worth the hike though.

yeah ..this is about a two mile hike.. through drifts about 5 feet high .. luckily they were hard-crusted and I could walk over.. fell through a couple times though

Certainly, the highlights of the clouds gives the shot a great feeling.

Lovely shot,
There's just something exciting and mysterious about it, can't wait to see the rest.

Eerie. It has a 2001 vibe about it, if you know what I mean!

hmm.. that would probably describe the humming sound and the sudden desire to go to Europa!
