Some shots from early yesterday morning. As we drove out the Bay de Verde Peninsula we were treated to an extended golden sunrise courtesy of a freaky combination fog, low lying clouds and surface water vapour.

There was a much smaller group on this excursion, and perhaps that was a good thing. I’m not sure how many people would have stuck with it when the temperature dipped down to -24C (as per the car’s in-dashboard thermometer). We had a well-bundled-up group, each with a good appreciation for the fact that the extreme cold presented us with the surface steam that “made” many of our shots.

Thankfully, the wind was light so, even right on the water, I’d estimate the wind chill didn’t get much below -30C. When there’s very little wind like this, direct sunlight can also make the air seem warmer than the actual temperature.
