Sullenly

The clouds and mist rising from Lake Michigan created a sullen scene at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse.

This was one of the last images I snapped on a very cold (below zero) morning of shooting. I’d been out there a lot longer than I would have thought – about an hour and forty-five minutes – but I found plenty to point my camera at. I was the only one braving the elements that morning. All of the footprints you see in the snow were made by me.

I had decided to call it a morning, was dismantling my equipment, folding my tripod and packing up to head home.  I looked back over my shoulder and noticed the shadows from the tree and it drew me back for a few more minutes.
