February Sunrises

Due to a variety of reasons I have not been getting out and doing much shooting this winter, mostly because the winter conditions just have not been very favorable.  A very mild winter with very little snowfall and almost no ice production on Lake Superior has meant that the things I normally love to photograph this time of year are simply nonexistent.  This weekend, however, my friend Roger (http://www.rogernordstromphoto.com/) was up for a visit so of course we got out and did some shooting.  It's a good thing we did, too, as yesterday morning we witnessed what had to be one of the best winter sunrises I've ever seen.  The high-altitude clouds were incredible and did a great job of reflecting the light from the sun as it rose above the horizon.  This morning's sunrise was beautiful as well, but lacked any clouds to add interest to the sky.
