Other Worlds

View across the frozen Lake Superior at Squaw Island yesterday morning at sunrise. The ice made sounds like smashing plate glass windows as I walked across it.
My friends Jay, Paul and myself ventured out into the bitter morning air before sunrise. (about -55C at the Lake with the windchill) Shortly after we all ran to the car and headed to Calico Cafe for hot chocalate.

this shot is worth it though - love the hazy morning light and texture in the ice.

This is an amazing shot. The perspective is so unique because at first glance it almost looks like a macro of broken glass or something. Really splendid job.
