Know Who You Are

"Sometimes when you are really lonely, you really feel alive and you feel like you know who you are." ~ Unknown

This is the exact reason I love to go to the North Shore in the winter...to capture the beauty and emmerce myself in the solitude of nature.

Shortly after sunrise, it was 4 degrees and absolutely beautiful sitting on the rocks over looking the magnificent Lake Superior. I sat here, in the snow for almost and hour, losing myself in the moment.

Many of my friends question my trips that I take alone, but it moments like this where you really do feel alive and find, at least a few clues to who your really are.

I have returned from my annual trip to the North Shore of Minnesota. I love this place...especially during the winter. It's landscape is ever changing.

This trip in particular helped to really push me as a photographer. Because I have taken countless images of the various landmarks in the area, I had to force myself to try new angles and be more creative in my shots. This is probably one of my favorite images from the weekend!
