Description
February 2005.temperature -42c
A golden sunrise lights the morning mist on Lake Superior near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The shore seen here is a temporary one... a kilometer from land where the thick ice had piled up on a rocky shoal. It was a very cold and surreal hike that morning.

Thanks for your interest my friends!

It looks like the ripples were frozen...even though that's not necessarily true...that's just how it appears.
Cool shot.

-42? What posessed you to go out in that? I live in the tropics - the girls I work with break out their jumpers anytime the temperature falls below 25.

That's another great photograph, man! I really don't know how you find the time to take such fantastic pictures. I'm not given to hyperbole, but you really do have a rare talent.
The scene reminds me of when I used to work in the forest industry in Finland, many years ago. I never had -42C to contend with, but I did have many days at -30C or so, working on the shore loading up rail wagons with timber, with the frozen sea right next to me. As you know, tarps and ropes ain't v flexible at -30C! Anyway, it looked a lot like this.
As we say in the UK: "Top one!"

thanks my friend
about the time to shoot... I did this photo 3 1/2 years ago
...but I do a lot of cold-weather hiking because I only work seasonally. For 4 months of the year my photography is an everyday indulgence for me.
Us Canadians have a lot in common with Finlanders in terms of climate and topography for sure!

I can believe that!
The coldest weather that i have been in was probably just over -30C and that already is so damn cold. But unfortunately two last winters in here finland have been quite warm.. Im hoping it will get really cold this winter
