the Power of Lake Erie

Sometimes I am surprised that my birth sign, Virgo, is of the earth. I assimilate easily with Pisces and am drawn to all things water. My childhood was spent splashing in the creeks and rain. Presque Isle growing up was a refuge in the summer sunshine. I am stupefied whenever I look out over either coast ocean. A sunset over the waves is heaven on earth to me. I am mesmerized by its wonder.
Stay tuned for an upcoming piece on the @aquatech_imagingsolutions website about my Lake Erie wave series. I talk about my inspiration, gear used & conditions I dealt with. (Like this 44 degree water) I will share the link once it's posted. Projects like this wouldn't be possible without my #aquatech line of gear (pictured here is my Delphin 1d housing with the P-215 lens port & Pistol grip trigger) keeping my @canoncanada gear protected from the elements. https://aquatech.net/furious-water-with-dave-sandford/ and link in my bio

It was monumental to revisit those Lake Erie shores this Fall and make the pilgrimage up to Niagara Falls again. Comfort in the reflection of the blue and the pounding waves.

I am immediately taken by these photographs I am sharing by Dave Sanford who  lives just on the other side of the border in London, Ontario. To get the full lake effect he submerges himself in the water and gets shots of the power at eye level. They are beautiful and epic. Take a look at the few posted and see more at his page link.
