Long Point in Winter

Wide awake at 4am this morning. Coffee's on, camera bag is packed, and I've got my thermals on under my jeans.

4:30am and I'm rolling down the 401 to pick up Hwy 19 to Long Point.

After a couple of stops along the way for a photo or two, it's 6:15am, and I'm at Long Point, Ontario, on the Lake Erie shoreline. It's still pitch black out and plenty cold. The wind is bitingly cold as I get my tripod out of the trunk and prepare for the trek to the shoreline.

7:05am and Mike and Randy arrive. We agree we must be Canadians... who else would be crazy enough to be out in this weather in the wee hours of the morning.

But the light is worth it...
