Sea Smoke on Superior
Weather forecasters had been announcing for days the arrival of a Siberian Express, a massive blast of cold arctic air. With the water of Lake Superior still clear of ice, I knew that there would be some interesting weather phenomenon near open water.
The cold air soon arrived and early morning temperatures dropped to -23F, a perfect morning to do some photography on the shores of the big lake.
Standing on the shore of Lake Superior at Canal Park in Duluth, I watched as the arrival of daylight lifted the veil on a marvelous exhibit of natural beauty. Sea Smoke lifted off the water as super chilled wind blew across its surface. It is one of the most beautiful weather effects that the eye can see.
With the wind chill at -40F, my fingers soon felt the familiar sting of cold as it penetrated my gloves while I was setting up my tripod and camera. I snapped pictures for the next 15 minutes before my camera battery died from the cold.
The sun soon burned through the fog to shine its light on another beautiful January day. Once again, God mixed the elements of His creation together to reveal his power and glory, and I felt privileged to be able to view it. I left the shore with frozen camera equipment and numb fingers, yet there was a warmth inside me, knowing that such a Master Creator was watching over me....and you.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse proclaims His handiwork. (psalm 19:1)
