Frosty Morning

This is a bit unusual, but I'm posting a photo from the same location as Brant's shot above. I've been coming back to this spot regularly since Brant's visit, trying to get a decent sunrise. This is today's effort, probably the best of the bunch that I've generated so far. But I have to say, I do like Brant's shot above with the dramatic clouds! Today was rather cold and it took a while for the mountains to appear through the ice fog. While waiting, I emptied my coffee mug and the batteries on my heated socks ran out... the pitfalls of the trade



Edit: In answer to a question from David, the socks I use are "Lenz 5.0", with rechargeable lithium batteries. They are rather expensive but work brilliantly (assuming you remember to charge them before you go out for a shoot). You can control the temperature with an app on your phone (how cool is that). Those of you in Canada can find them now at MEC.
