Description a typical Northern Ontario scene ... a wild land full of rugged beauty... I was up at 5am the other morning to catch a few worms

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

Ohh that is incredible It feels really crisp and cold.

I'm really impressed that you were up at 5am in what seems like a very cold day.

Awesomely beautiful...

Nothing like a crisp and clear frosty morning, by the lake or the shore.
The mist is always a sight for sore eyes...

Well done John!!

Worms? Yesss....

Great shot. It looks as though there should be lone wolf walking across the ice in the foreground.

yeah man, no problem, you are quite talented...i didnt mean any disrespect by that comment about the winter themed shots, i just appreciate the beauty of spring summer and fall, of being alive, much more than the winter; but then again maybe its just because i hate the cold...lol; and about the sig, architecture school has been really really frustrating lately, so i thought id give a little, somewhat silent, protest to the whole thing; keep up the excellent work

I'm gonna have to come up there and elbow you outta the way so I can get a few faves. :jealous: Mother nature isn't as friendly for the photographer down here this time of year. The ice collection of shots has really been extraordinary.
