One of the things I like best when it comes to the Canon s5 IS is that I can hide it under a scarf when bad weather hits. Mike and I started this shoot in the sun and finished in a snowstorm with wind gusts up to 50 mph. For more winter photos visit: A Winter Journal, Notes from the Upper Peninsula.

Mike is standing far out on the ice at Mcarty’s Cove on the shores of Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan. I had shot this location in late Janaury, as did he. It keeps calling us back. Visibility was very bad as the storm blew in lake effect snows.

If you are a Marquette or Upper Peninsula inhabitant you will know that the last shot is not a U.F.O.
