The temperature this morning was -5F with a windchill of -30F (-20C & -34C) ... in other words a great morning to head down to the shore of Lake Superior and take some photographs! I knew that the combination of extremely frigid temperatures, clear skies and steam rising off Lake Superior would make for dramatic scenes. The clouds in the photos are the result of Lake Superior giving off her heat on a cold Winter's morning.
I hope you enjoy this small taste of the Northland taken at Brighton Beach. Click upon any photo to view at full size / resolution.

- Downloadable versions of the "Frost Rise" photos: Many of you asked whether I would be willing to make free downloadable high resolution copies in multiple resolutions of the photos available. The answer is "yes"! Please link to my Flickr account:
Bench | Stone Picnic Shelter | Tree
. - Betty's Pie Facebook Visitors: Here are two photos taken at sunrise this past Summer right across the road from Betty's (Stewart River: Photo 1 and Photo 2).

I like that Park Bench photo. And I thought over here in Los Angeles, being in the low 30's was cold!

Rich, those are some of the most stirring pictures I've ever seen. Any chance at desktop-resolution versions?
Rich responds ... Sure. I will post a link to Flickr tomorrow which will give you various resolution options. Thanks for the kind remarks.
