I didn’t do any shopping today; as a rule, I never shop on Black Friday. It’s just too crazy in the stores, and there’s nothing I need that bad, to make it worthwhile, to put up with that chaos. I did, however, enjoy a beautiful sunset, and now it is my pleasure to share it with you.
I woke up early this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. It worked out ok though because I went out and got some nice shots of the sunrise.
Just a few shots of the sky at sunset during my break at work.
I took this shot yesterday on my break. The sunset got mucher prettier after this, but I was unable to get another shot as I was back on the job by then. I could see it through the windows though.
Yesterday I had to go back to town in the late afternoon and on my way I saw this sundog. Of course I had my Rebel along, so I pulled over and took a shot, but I found that the sundog barely showed up at all so I took some HDR shots instead. After processing them I found that the sundog stood out much more.
Here’s a few shots of the sunrise yesterday morning, facing east, north and west.
I took these yesterday morning on my way to work at Goullette Park on Lake Antoine in Iron Mountain.
I took this shot from Goullette Park on Lake Antoine this morning on my way to work. I wish I could have shot this with my Rebel because it would have turned out so much better, but the Rebel is just too much camera to haul around to work and back every day, so I have to settle for the Powershot. Oh well, I’m happy I got to see this, because it was beautiful and really made my day.
…from my lunchroom at work. I shot the first one of the flag and half moon one day last week on my break. The second one was taken this past Tuesday.
I went kayaking on Lake Hilbert yesterday for the first time this year, in fact, it was the first time I had seen the beach area of the lake so far this year and I was very surprised at what I found. The lake has gotten very low in recent years, but I hadn’t realized just how low it was. I paddled around and got quite a few pics.
This sand bar between the second and third lakes was always under water and is now exposed. The channel of water had to be dredged out so that boats can cross.
I have never seen these rocks before because they were always under water. There was always a buoy here to mark them because the water was rather shallow, but now the rocks exposed quite a bit.
I paddled over to the first lake (of course, the channel between the first and second lakes had to be dredged out also). This shot is of the shoreline in front of my brother’s cottage. The water used to come almost up to the log near the bottom of the picture and now it’s quite a way out.
In this shot, you can see how much the water has receded. The water line used to be right about where my shadow ends. The end of the dock is no longer anywhere near the edge of the water.
The distance between the edge of the sand and the water is more than twice what it used to be.
