What an incredible display. I can close me eyes and feel the cold and exhilaration and awe. I can see the runs to the vans to warm up and jumping out again while still cold because it is all too amazing to waste time worried about being cold. Instead of seeing this breathtaking display, I experienced a different sort of nature’s awe last week: Hurricane Sandy. Man, were we ever clobbered. Still reeling here–horrible mess. By the grace of God Bri and I came through it ok. Thank you for sharing so many of the photos.

Steve – I thought I answered your question but I guess it did not post. Regarding moving water in the pics, yes, there is some open water, and some reflections on ice. I used both the f/1.4 and a 2.8 lens, mostly the 2.8 since it was 14mm.

Cheers

Carl
